How To Make Grilled Bacon Wrapped Chicken

This recipe is actually super simple to make. Here’s how to do it.

Flatten – The first thing you’ll want to do is place a piece of wax paper on top of a full chicken breast and then pound the chicken breast with a meat tenderizer so that it is 1/4-inch thick.

Slice – Next, cut the flattened chicken breast in half. Then place a piece of your preferred cheese on top.

Wrap – Roll the chicken breast up nice and tight. Then wrap the bacon around the chicken so that it’s completely covered. You’ll also want to secure the bacon with toothpicks, if needed.

Cook – Once it’s prepped, grab your indoor grill and cook the chicken for about 15 minutes, or until it’s completely cooked.

Cooking Tip – I like to make these on my indoor grill and don’t need to flip them, but you can definitely bust out the BBQ if you’d like! Just make sure to flip the chicken breasts every 3-4 minutes so they get cooked evenly.

Finishing Touch – Serve the chicken immediately or drizzle with some balsamic dressing for even more flavor!

Doesn’t that look delicious???
