Ingredients for Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Medallions:

- Thin-cut bacon slices
- Garlic powder
- Smoked paprika
- Yellow mustard
- Lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Extra-virgin olive oil (for greasing the pan)
How to Make Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Medallions:
- Start by seasoning the chicken breast pieces with garlic powder, smoked paprika, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken absorbs all the flavors.
- If possible, let the seasoned chicken rest in the refrigerator for a few hours so the flavors can develop.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (approx. 230°C).
- In a baking dish greased with olive oil, assemble the medallions. Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around a piece of seasoned chicken, ensuring the end of the bacon slice is tucked underneath the medallion to keep it from unraveling during cooking.
- Repeat the process until all the chicken and bacon are used.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the bacon is golden and crispy.
Chef’s Tip:
For even better results, marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for a few hours or even overnight. This intensifies the flavors and ensures a much tastier result.
