Turkey-Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs
The ultimate cozy dinner! 🍗✨ Tender, juicy chicken wrapped in smoky, crispy turkey bacon and roasted with fresh carrots. It’s the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and healthy—and completely pork-free
Ingredients
Chicken: 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
The Wrap: 6–12 slices of high-quality turkey bacon.
Seasoning: 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp cracked black pepper, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder.
Glaze: 2 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (for that caramelized sheen).
Vegetables: 1 lb fresh carrots, peeled and trimmed.
Herbs: Fresh thyme for garnish.
Instructions
Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken thighs generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Wrap: Take each chicken thigh and wrap it tightly with 1 or 2 slices of turkey bacon. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Arrange: Place the wrapped chicken in a baking dish. Nest the carrots around the chicken.
Glaze: Whisk the olive oil and honey together and brush over the bacon-wrapped chicken and the carrots.
Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the turkey bacon is crispy and golden brown.
Garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh sprigs of thyme.
