Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken with Bacon - Flavorful chicken made with brown sugar, garlic and crispy bacon. Side this with your favorite rice, potatoes or pasta for a delicious meal that even your pickiest eater will love.
We eat a ton of chicken in our house. A ton. It's about the only thing ( besides pasta) that everyone will eat and be happy.
This recipe I actually discovered many years ago and it was originally for wraps. But, I gave it my own twist and we eat it with mashed potatoes, rice or of course, pasta. Side this with your favorite starchy side to soak up all the goodness of the sticky sauce!

Will This Work with Chicken Thighs?
Yes. I have made this with boneless, skinless chicken thighs and it tastes just as amazing as the chicken breasts. The only difference is your cooking time. You can cut back your cooking time for the thighs about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Can I Use Turkey Bacon?
Sure. However, turkey bacon does not give you as much grease as regular bacon. So, you may need to add some oil to your pan when cooking the chicken.
How Long Should I Cook My Chicken?
I recommend cooking each breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side. Now, this time can vary, depending on the size/thickness of your chicken. If your chicken is thin, cook a little less, thicker, cook a bit more. Make sure the internal temperature of your chicken is at least 165 degrees before serving.
This does sound superb, garlic, chicken and bacon, what's not to love about this dish.
