This is a quick and easy way to dress up chicken.  The flavor of sage goes really well with chicken.

I love the idea of having bacon wrapped around any juicy meat. How can you go wrong with bacon ?

  • Kosher Salt + Black Peper To Taste

  • In a large pan, add EVOO and allow to heat up for a minute over medium high heat.
  • Carefully place chicken (sage side up) in the pan and cook until fat is rendered and bacon is browned, about 6 minutes.

Notes

  • Wrap the bacon relatively tightly around the sage leaves and chicken to prevent them falling apart.
  • Use tooth picks to secure the bacon if helpful.

      P.s. did I tell you that my husband made this dish? He was inspired by the latest article I wrote on the blog and decided to make it for me !! 🙂
