BROILED BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES AND WATERCRESS



Broiled Bacon-Wrapped Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Watercress image

Broilers vary in heat intensity; move the rack to a lower position if the chicken is browning too quickly, or to a higher rack if too slowly. Remove items from the baking sheet as done, if they're cooking unevenly.

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

85g bag watercress
2 tbsp Boursin cheese with black pepper (available from Waitrose and Sainsbury's)

Make a finger-tip length cut into the thick end of the chicken, pushing the knife two-thirds of the way through the breast. Poke your fingers into the incision and loosen the chicken to create a hole. Stuff with the Boursin mix, then wrap tightly with bacon.

Easy-to-make chicken with a little variation. Great on the grill but just as good baked in the oven when you can't grill out.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

cooking spray
8 slices bacon
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¾ cup barbeque sauce (such as Cattlemen's® or Jack Daniel's®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until the edges begin to crisp, about 5 minutes; drain bacon on paper towels. Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon in an x-shaped pattern and place into the prepared baking sheet with bacon ends underneath.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; spread barbeque sauce over chicken breasts and bake until the juices run clear, the chicken is no longer pink inside, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 10 to 15 more minutes.
