INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
3 slices Bacon
1 medium Jalapeño Pepper
2 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds if you prefer a less intense heat. Then, cut each half into thin strips.
Season the chicken breast evenly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast on a clean cutting board. Arrange the jalapeño strips across the top of the chicken, ensuring even distribution of the spicy heat.
Lay out the bacon slices and wrap them around the chicken breast to secure the jalapeño pieces in place. If needed, use a toothpick to hold the bacon in position.
Drizzle the wrapped chicken with olive oil, ensuring a light coat that will help the bacon crisp up nicely during baking.
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken on the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the bacon is crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
