Apricot Glazed Bacon Wrapped Chicken

Ingredients

• 6 strips bacon
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt

• Ground black pepper
• Heaping tablespoon apricot preserves
• Serves 2

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with foil and top with small wire rack. Mist rack with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
3. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Wrap each chicken breast in bacon, making sure to overlap bacon slightly. (Depending on the size of the chicken breasts, 2-3 strips of bacon should be enough.) Place wrapped chicken breasts on rack and season again with ground black pepper. Divide apricot preserves between tops of chicken breasts and spread to coat evenly.
4. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until bacon has begun to crisp and the chicken has cooked through.
5. Switch oven to broiler. Keep an eye on things! Let bacon crisp slightly and apricot glaze begin to bubble. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
