Bacon-Wrapped Rosemary Chicken

Discovered this recipe years ago and is a family favorite. It is a great recipe for beginning cooks because it is very easy with tasty results! For a variation, try other herbs rather than rosemary such as sage, tarragon or thyme.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 2 1⁄2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
•  salt
•  fresh ground pepper
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 1⁄2-1  lb  sliced bacon

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 425°F.
2. Cut chicken breasts into 4-6 ounce pieces.
3. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
4. Wrap a slice of bacon around each piece of chicken and place in baking dish.
5. Sprinkle with rosemary.
