Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 8 slices turkey bacon or center-cut bacon

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

2. Wrap the Chicken: Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

3. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear bacon-wrapped chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
