BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• In a small bowl, stir together the smoked paprika, thyme, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper.
• Pat the chicken dry. Sprinkle the chicken evenly on both sides with thyme mixture, rubbing to coat.
• Wrap 2 bacon slices around each breast, covering it as evenly as you can.
• Place the chicken breast, seam-side down, in the prepared dish.
• To the same bowl you used for the seasonings, add the maple syrup and vinegar and stir to combine.
• Brush the tops of the chicken with the maple syrup mixture. If desired, crack black pepper over the top.
• Bake the bacon wrapped chicken for 20 to 25 minutes, until a thermometer inserted at the thickest part registers 165 degrees F (I typically pull my chicken a few degrees early, then let the carryover cooking finish the rest). Brush the chicken with the liquid that has collected at the bottom of the pan halfway through.
• If you'd like to crisp the top of the bacon, switch the oven to broil. Broil the chicken for 1 to 3 minutes, until it is crisped to your liking.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and immediately sprinkle with a pinch of additional salt. Let rest at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to reincorporate into the chicken. Sprinkle with chives. Enjoy!
