How to cook Bacon Wrapped Chicken with Toppings

In a deep bowl, mix the chopped cheese, salt, spices and breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Dredge the chicken in flour, then in egg, and then in the breadcrumb-cheese mixture.

Step 8

When ready, remove the dish from the oven. Enjoy!

Bacon Wrapped Chicken with Toppings - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon for this recipe?

Yes, turkey bacon works as a leaner alternative but may crisp up faster, so keep an eye on cooking time.

How long can I store leftovers of bacon-wrapped chicken?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for best texture.

Is there a low-carb substitute for breadcrumbs?

Try crushed pork rinds or almond flour for a keto-friendly option with a similar crunchy coating.

Can I prepare this dish ahead and freeze it?

Yes, assemble the chicken (unbaked), wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking as directed.

What sides pair well with bacon-wrapped chicken?

Try roasted vegetables, a crisp salad, or garlic mashed potatoes for a balanced meal.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Swap Parmesan for nutritional yeast or omit it entirely—just increase breadcrumbs slightly for coating.

How do I prevent the bacon from becoming too greasy?

Pat the chicken dry before wrapping and bake on a wire rack over the tray to allow excess fat to drip off.

Can I air-fry this instead of baking?

Yes! Air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway, until bacon is crispy and chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
