Oven-Baked Bacon-Wrapped Chicken with Avocado Salsa

Preheat oven to 400F. Peel away the extra, papery skin from the garlic and cut off the end, leaving the garlic head intact but the tips exposed.

Drizzle with olive oil, rubbing it into the garlic, and wrap tightly. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until cloves are soft.

Once garlic is done, take it out of the tinfoil and squeeze half of cloves out and put in a small bowl. Mash garlic into a paste, and spread evenly on top of each chicken breast. Save the rest of the garlic for something else!

Take one piece of bacon and wrap it around a chicken breast. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Place a cooling rack on top of a tinfoil-lined cookie sheet and place chicken breasts on the cooling rack. Bake until chicken is 165ºF and bacon is crispy, about 25–30 minutes. Then turn your oven to high broil and cook until bacon is very crispy, 2–5 minutes. Watch closely as it can burn fast!

While chicken bakes, mix all the salsa ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper.

When chicken is cooked, divide the avocado salsa evenly on top of each breast and devour!
