Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the 2 (6 oz each) chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp dried thyme.
  2. Step 2: Wrap each chicken breast with 2 bacon strips (using all 4 strips total), securing with toothpicks if needed, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and bacon is golden and crisp.
  3. Step 3: While chicken bakes, pit and slice the 1 large (150g) avocado into 1/4-inch thick slices. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp fresh dill, and 2 tbsp heavy cream until fully emulsified and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice each chicken breast in half, arrange on plates with avocado slices, and drizzle generously with the lemon-dill sauce until the sauce coats the chicken and avocado evenly.
