Description

Juicy chicken breast wrapped in crispy bacon and cooked in the air fryer at 375°F in about 20 minutes. It's an easy low-carb dinner with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients 

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (6–8 oz each)
  • 6 strips bacon, regular-cut
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika, optional
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary or thyme, optional

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken dry. Rub it with olive oil and season all over.
  • Wrap each breast snugly with 3 bacon strips, overlapping slightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
  • Place the chicken seam-side down, with space between the pieces. Air fry for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Cook until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the bacon is crisp. Rest for 5 minutes, remove the toothpicks, and slice.

Equipment

Notes

Use regular-cut bacon. Don't overcrowd the basket. Add 2–3 minutes at the end for extra-crisp bacon. To reheat, air fry at 350°F for 4–5 minutes.
