Description
This 5-ingredient low-FODMAP Bacon-Wrapped Chicken is quick, easy, and versatile—great for a busy weeknight meal! Make extras to easily add protein to a lunch salad, sandwich, or wrap.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon coarse salt
- 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 2 large breasts cut into 4 thinner pieces - see note) // approximately 1-1.5 pounds
- 8 slices thin-cut bacon (choose lower-sodium, if preferred)
- 4 servings low FODMAP BBQ Sauce, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Place an oven-safe wire rack on top of a sheet pan.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, and salt.
- Rub the sugar-paprika mixture evenly all over the chicken breasts.
- Wrap each seasoned chicken breast with two pieces of bacon in a single layer and transfer to the wire-rack on an aluminum-lined sheet pan.
- Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes. Increase temperature to 450°F and continue baking for 5-10 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through. Actual cooking time will vary depending on your oven, the thickness of the chicken and bacon used, etc. Chicken breast is done when a food thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
- Serve warm, as is, or with your favorite low FODMAP BBQ sauce.
Notes
Low FODMAP Serving: One serving of this recipe (1 chicken breast) uses low FODMAP amounts of ingredients at publication. Individual tolerance may vary, and low FODMAP servings may change. For more information on specific ingredients, please refer to the Monash FODMAP App or check out the "FODMAP Notes" section (above the recipe).
Chicken Prep Note: If the chicken breasts are large, I like to slice them in half lengthwise, similar to slicing open a hot dog bun but cutting all the way through to create two smaller pieces. I also try to cut them into similarly sized pieces to help promote even cooking.
Serving suggestion: The chicken is pictured and pairs well with Low FODMAP Sunflower Crunch Salad.
