Simple and delicious. The skin is crispy and the bacon is caramelized. Yum

These were perfect! I used a pack of chicken breasts from Costco, and used three slices of bacon for each piece. Everything is bigger from Costco! After the first cooking at 400F for 15 min, I then set to 370F for 12, and the internal temp was 165-167F in the thickest part, just right. Before wrapping them I had salted the breasts and let them sit on a rack in the fridge for several hours. I used Kinder Taco seasoning on them. Absolutely delicious! Thank you for such a nice simple recipe.
Thank you!
