Quick Bacon-Wrapped Chicken

Hello everyone! I hope you are all FABULOUS! I, myself, have been slammed with school starting back. The summer really spoiled me. Sleeping later, less laundry, less cooking, no school activities. Unfortunately, those days are over, and for the next nine months it's back to the grind. I have a simple and quick recipe to share for all the busy Mom's out there (and others too...). It's a boneless, skinless chicken breast recipe. It has some spice and some bacon, so you can't go wrong! Best of all, it cooks in a snap in the oven. So, you will have time to get caught up on the laundry. :)

Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Breasts

4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 Slices of bacon uncooked (more if you really like bacon)
Seasoned salt
Chili powder
Fresh ground black pepper
Honey mustard sauce for dipping

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Put a raised baking tray over the baking sheet and spray with cooking oil spray. Cut the chicken breasts in half long ways so that you have thick chicken strips. Sprinkle chicken with seasoned salt, chili powder and black pepper. Wrap bacon around chicken strips and secure with toothpicks. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is crispy and brown. Serve with honey mustard dipping sauce. In addition, you can top with your favorite cheese and melt it in the oven for a few minutes. Steam some veggies and dinner is ready! Fast-tastic!
