6 slices bacon

2 slices cheddar cheese

# Steps:
01 -
Pat chicken breasts dry and season evenly on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
02 -
Tightly wrap each seasoned chicken breast with three slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks at the seam as needed.
03 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange bacon-wrapped chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until bacon is crisp and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Alternatively, sear in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, then transfer to oven to finish.

In the last 3 minutes of cooking, top each wrap with a slice of cheddar cheese and return to oven until melted. Remove wraps from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Remove toothpicks. Slice chicken wraps and serve as desired. Optionally assemble in a flour tortilla or sandwich roll with lettuce, tomato, and avocado.

For best crispness, position bacon seam-side down and avoid overcrowding during baking.
