Rosemary Bacon Chicken





 

Since Sundays are generally a pretty busy day for us,
mondays i usually spend around the house. 
in running clothes, playing with the kids, 
catching up on laundry and cleaning.
today i spent around the house, 
making Easter egg countdowns with the kids, playing dart guns,
and fighting off a sinus infection.

{this is making me sound super-interesting, right?}

anyway, here's today's super-easy, really yummy chicken recipe.
{i didn't take a picture of it with our roasted asparagus and salad!}

 
Rosemary Bacon Chicken


ingredients:
a little bit of garlic
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 thick slices bacon 
{nitrate-free is the best!}
salt and pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves 

directions:

1.pre-heat oven to 425*
2. rub about 1/2 teaspoon garlic on each chicken breast half. i used this kind, but you could totally use garlic powder or even real garlic.

3. season with salt and pepper.
4. lay one rosemary sprig on each chicken breast.  i love rosemary! it will add a great flavor, but I promise it won't be overpowering.
5. wrap the bacon around the chicken.
you could totally use a thick toothpick to hold it in place, but I just made sure each end of the bacon was tucked under the chicken, and it baked fine. 

6. bake until a thermometer says the internal temp has reached 165* - this took my chicken about 24 minutes. 

enjoy!

grant and grace inhaled this. 
seriously, inhaled.
it has fabulous flavor.
