Description
This recipe features lean chicken breast wrapped in crispy, halal-certified beef bacon, creating a succulent and flavor-packed main course. Infused with a bold blend of Cajun spices, cumin, and garlic, this dish is perfect for a quick, restaurant-quality weeknight dinner that is as easy to prepare as it is delicious. The bacon wrap ensures the chicken remains moist and flavorful throughout the roasting process.
Ingredients
4 pieces chicken breast (4-oz each)
4 slices halal beef bacon
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Wooden toothpicks (soaked in water)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Slice two large chicken breasts in half horizontally to create four uniform portions.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, cumin, and garlic powder.
Rub the spice mixture thoroughly over all sides of each chicken piece.
Wrap one slice of halal beef bacon around each chicken breast portion.
Secure the bacon ends with pre-soaked wooden toothpicks.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
Notes
Ensure toothpicks are soaked in water for ten minutes before use to prevent them from burning in the oven. For best results, use thinly sliced halal beef bacon to ensure it crisps up at the same rate as the chicken cooks.
