Notes
While the original Bacon Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a true delight, there are plenty of ways to put your own spin on this recipe. Consider swapping the garlic parmesan wing sauce for a different flavor profile, such as a spicy buffalo or a tangy barbecue. You could also add in some roasted veggies, like asparagus or broccoli, for a complete meal. For a healthier twist, use turkey bacon or a lower-fat bacon alternative. And if you’re in the mood for a crunchier texture, try air frying the bacon-wrapped chicken instead of baking it.
