Easy-to-make chicken with a little variation. Great on the grill but just as good baked in the oven when you can't grill out.

cooking spray
8 slices bacon
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¾ cup barbeque sauce (such as Cattlemen's(R) or Jack Daniel's(R))

Step 2

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until the edges begin to crisp, about 5 minutes; drain bacon on paper towels. Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon in an x-shaped pattern and place into the prepared baking sheet with bacon ends underneath.
Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; spread barbeque sauce over chicken breasts and bake until the juices run clear, the chicken is no longer pink inside, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 10 to 15 more minutes.

Partner Tip

Try using a Reynolds® slow cooker liner in your slow cooker for easier cleanup.

Used Sweet Baby Rays served it with mashed cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. I will be serving this meal again and again. Very easy and the meat is just perfect juicy with so much flavor. Read More

Tried this but prefer a similar recipe made in the slow cooker. Increase sauce to 1 cup (as many others do I use Sweet Baby Ray's honey BBQ) add 1/4C brown sugar 1/8C lime juice and 4small apples peeled and chopped. Prepare bacon and wrap chicken the same way place in slow cooker and cover with BBQ mixture. Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours. Chicken is super moist and I like the slightly sweeter flavor. Read More

I like to use Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce for this recipe. I serve it with mashed potatoes or buttered pasta as the boys like to have something on the side to sop up the sauce on the plate. Read More

I used Jack Daniels sauce and also topped the chicken with Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese in the last few minutes so that it melted. Just like an entry we get a a local dinner. Read More

Very good recipe. I followed the recipe exactly until the very end. I added cheese and diced tomatoes and left it covered on the stove top while I finished up on a few things. It was just like the Monterey chicken I get at a popular restaurant Read More

I just made this recipe for a family of 7 and they all loved it! As th others said I also used Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce and because I was cooking a lot more chicken than the original recipe called for I had to extend the cooking time to about an hour. I do intend to make this recipe again. Read More
