Ingredients

Instructions

Cut the chicken breast fillets into pieces 4 cm long and about finger thickness.
In a mortar, mix the finely diced garlic, a handful of fresh basil, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper until combined into a paste.
Coat the chicken pieces thoroughly with the paste. Alternatively, place the chicken pieces and paste in a freezer bag, seal, and knead gently for 2-3 min until evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Wrap each chicken piece tightly in a bacon slice with the bacon end facing down. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
Serve warm with baguette bread, or allow to cool and serve cold as finger food. For cold serving, prepare up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
