Step-by-step photos can be seen below the recipe card.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Pat the chicken dry and sprinkle both sides with half of the seasoning mix. Save half of the seasoning mix for later.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Wrap each chicken breast in 2-3 pieces of bacon until it is mostly covered. Sprinkle with the remaining seasonings.
8-12 pieces medium cut bacon
Place onto the wire rack. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. If the bacon is not yet crisp, this will depend on its thickness, broil until crisp. Garnish with parsley and serve.
Chopped fresh parsley

Small chicken breasts will need 2 pieces of bacon. Larger chicken breasts will need 3.
Use medium cut bacon for best results! Thick cut will not crisp up during the cooking time.
