Bacon & Sage Wrapped Lemon Chicken

I found this recipe in All You magazine a few months back and finally got around to making it tonight. It was so tasty, the whole family loved it, including the kids! 

Ingredients: 
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 12 sage leaves
  • 8 slices thick bacon (I use Hempler's all natural, it is labeled gluten free. You can buy it at Fred Meyer) 
  • 1 1/2 tbsp gluten free flour blend
  • 1/2 cup gluten free chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
Directions: 
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. 
  2. Place 3 sage leaves on the top of each chicken breast. 
  3. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each chicken breast and lay flat in baking dish. 
  4. Bake until chicken is cooked all the way through, about 40 minutes. 
  5. When chicken is done, drain juices from the pan into a small saute pan. Cover chicken with foil and let rest for a few minutes. 
  6. In small saute pan heat juices from the chicken, broth, and lemon juice. Slowly whisk in gluten free flour until sauce has thickened ( I brought it to a quick boil while continuously stirring and it thickened in about 2 minutes). 
  7. Poor sauce over chicken and serve! I served it over rice and it was delicious. 
Hope you like it as much as my family did!

  3. Hi Val,

    Did you use fresh or bottled lemon juice?

  4. I used bottled lemon juice, but I'm sure either would work.
