Sticky Sweet Bacon Glazed Chicken

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Begin by wrapping each chicken breast with two slices of bacon, ensuring that the bacon completely covers the chicken.
3. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the brown sugar has dissolved.
4. Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
5. Generously brush the chicken breasts with the sweet and savory glaze, making sure to coat each piece evenly.
6. Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
7. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and brush it with any remaining glaze from the baking sheet.
8. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
9. Garnish the Sticky Sweet Bacon Glazed Chicken with chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
10. Serve the chicken hot and enjoy the irresistible combination of flavors!
