👨🍳
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Wrap each piece tightly with bacon slices, slightly overlapping to fully cover the surface. Place on a lined baking tray.
-
Peel the potatoes if desired and cut into large chunks. Parboil in salted water for about 8–10 minutes, until approximately 70% cooked—the edges should be tender but the centers still firm. Drain thoroughly and allow the surface moisture to evaporate. Wrap each potato piece with bacon and arrange on the same tray.
-
Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for about 65–70 minutes, or until the bacon is deeply golden and crisp, the chicken is cooked through, and the potatoes are tender inside with crisp edges. Rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
💡 Chef's Tips
- Parboiling the potatoes ensures a fluffy interior while the bacon crisps beautifully in the oven.
- Let the potatoes steam dry after boiling—this helps achieve better browning.
- Avoid overcrowding the tray; proper spacing promotes even roasting.
- Resting the chicken before slicing keeps it juicy and prevents the juices from running out.
