Ingredients
- 300 g (10 oz) bacon strips
- 300 g (10 oz) chicken breast, sliced
- 2-3 potatoes, thinly sliced
- 100 g (1 cup) grated cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Line a baking dish with bacon strips arranged in a circle so the ends hang over the edges. In the center, layer alternating slices of potato and chicken, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper.
- Fold the bacon over the top to wrap everything.
- Bake until the bacon is crisp and the chicken and potatoes are cooked through. Incredibly juicy.
Tips
- Slice the potatoes as thinly as you can so they cook through at the same pace as the chicken.
- Let the bake rest for a few minutes before slicing so the juices settle and the bacon stays crisp.
- For safe cooking, check that the chicken reaches 165°F — see the food safety guidance at usda.gov, and find more bacon-wrapped ideas at allrecipes.com.
