# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main Dish

01 - 8 slices thick-cut bacon
02 - 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
03 - 0.25 teaspoon salt
04 - 0.125 teaspoon pepper
05 - 1.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning

→ For Serving

06 - 16 ounces sour cream
07 - 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
08 - 4 Russet potatoes
09 - 1.5 tablespoons canola oil
10 - 1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
11 - Fresh parsley for garnish

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Cook bacon in a skillet over low heat for about 2 minutes per side until slightly browned, then remove and set aside.
02 - Leave the bacon drippings in the pan to use for searing the chicken.
03 - Let cooked bacon cool enough to handle while preparing the chicken.
04 - Cut each chicken breast into 4 equal pieces, yielding 8 total.
05 - Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
06 - Sear chicken in reserved bacon drippings over medium-high heat until browned on all sides and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
07 - Remove seared chicken from pan and let it cool slightly.
08 - Combine sour cream and cream of chicken soup in a saucepan and warm over medium-low heat while stirring occasionally.
09 - Wrap each chicken piece with 1 strip of partially cooked bacon and secure with toothpicks.
10 - Return bacon-wrapped chicken to the skillet over medium-low heat and cook, rotating with tongs until bacon is crispy on all sides.
11 - Remove toothpicks and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with baked potatoes and sour cream sauce.
12 - Scrub potatoes clean and pierce with a fork. Rub with canola oil and coarse salt.
13 - Bake at 425°F for 45 to 60 minutes until fork-tender.
14 - Wrap and place chicken on a baking sheet. Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes until cooked through and bacon is crisp.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
02 - To reheat frozen bacon wrapped chicken, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven until heated through.
03 - Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F internally for safety and juiciness.
