BACON-WRAPPED ROSEMARY GARLIC CHICKEN WITH LEMON



Bacon-Wrapped Rosemary Garlic Chicken with Lemon image

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 chicken breast
4 slices turkey bacon (or thinly sliced deli ham will work too)
1 lemon zest
1 clove garlic, grated
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1/3 cup white wine (I personally think its best with wine, but you can use water or low sodium chicken broth as an alternative)

Steps:

  • Slice chicken breast lengthwise so you create 2 cutlets
  • Cover each piece of chicken with a sheet of cling wrap and pound with a mallet until very thin (the cling wrap prevents chicken junk from flying everywhere and tearing up the chicken meat itself- basically less mess all around)
  • In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, rosemary, and grated garlic (this will be sort of pasty because the grate garlic makes things sticky)
  • On one side of each chicken cutlet, spread ½ the rosemary, garlic, lemon paste
  • Roll up each cutlet and wrap with 2 pieces of turkey bacon or ham. Secure with toothpicks
  • Season outside of chicken roll up with black pepper (and ½ tsp salt, optional, just to bring out chicken flavor a little)
  • Heat 1 tsp EVOO in a skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken on each side
  • Once browned, add wine to pan. Shake the pan a little while you are adding the wine and for about 30 seconds afterward.
  • Allow to simmer about 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through
  • Serve alongside your favorite steamed vegetables

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, it's best to use a whole chicken that is about 3-4 pounds. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly and that there is enough meat to wrap in bacon.
  • Use high-quality bacon: The bacon you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a bacon that is thick-cut and has a good smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken thigh and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: After you've cooked the chicken, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped rosemary chicken is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of savory bacon, aromatic rosemary, and tender chicken is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook chicken, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
