Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake 6 bacon strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10 minutes until partially crisp; remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Cut 12 oz chicken breast into 1-inch thick tenders. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Wrap each chicken tender with 1 bacon strip (using the cooked bacon from step 1), securing with toothpicks if needed. Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Brush chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil and bake at 400°F for 18-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and bacon is crispy.
  5. Step 5: While chicken bakes, scoop flesh from 1 medium avocado into a bowl. Add 2 oz cream cheese, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Mash until smooth with a fork.
  6. Step 6: Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, drizzling with avocado cream sauce.
