By Khalil Hymore

I've never been a huge fan of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. They're often dry and tasteless, but wrap 'em in bacon and...whoa! It's great! Although we all know that bacon can fix up just about any recipe, it does seem to defeat the purpose of this healthy ingredient (I just can't help myself!). The recipe is just as delicious without it. Simply omit the bacon, chop the sage and sprinkle it over the chicken before cooking.

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • Kosher or sea salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • 16 large sage leaves
  • 8 slices thin-cut bacon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 clove garlic, chopped
  • 2 tart apples, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Heat oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and top each with 4 sage leaves. Wrap 2 slice of bacon around each breast, being sure to keep the leaves tucked underneath. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot. Lay the chicken breasts into the skillet seam side down and cook until browned and the bacon is crisp, about 4 minutes. Turn and continue cooing until the chicken is cooked through but still moist, 4 more minutes. Transfer chicken breasts to a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and tent with foil to keep warm.

Meanwhile, wipe out the skillet and melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the apples and season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning occasionally, until golden, but still slightly crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the maple syrup and toss to coat the apples. Cook until they become glazed (add about a tablespoon of water if the syrup becomes too sticky), 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the chicken on a platter topped with the apples.
