Ingredients
 
 

  • 6 chicken thighs boneless skinless
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ tablespoon parsley for optional garnish

  • Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
    Raw pieces of chicken in a metal mixing bowl on a light-colored marble surface.
  • Lay each thigh flat and wrap a slice of bacon around it. Place them in the prepared dish seam-side down to secure the bacon. Ensure the pieces are not touching.
    Six pieces of raw bacon-wrapped meat arranged in a row on a rectangular white plate, set on a light marble surface.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.

  • Spoon the pan juices over each thigh. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

For crispier bacon, place the chicken under the broiler for about 5 minutes after baking.
Serve: Pair with mashed potatoes, cilantro lime rice, a side salad or soup, then finish the meal with something sweet!
Store: Keep cooled chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days or in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven for 10 minutes, ensuring frozen portions thaw overnight in the fridge before warming.
