- 1
Heat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with foil and a rack. Pat 4 boneless chicken breasts dry, season with ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- 2
Wrap each breast with 2 bacon slices, tucking the ends underneath. Set the pieces seam-side down on the rack with space between them.

Bake 25–32 minutes, turning the pan once, until the bacon is browned and the chicken reaches 165°F at the thickest point. Broil 1–2 minutes if the bacon needs more color, watching closely.

Transfer the chicken to a board and rest 5 minutes before slicing. Spoon off excess pan drippings and serve with roasted vegetables or a baked potato.
