You all should know by now that air fryer chicken breast is one of our easy, go-to meals! And of course I hope you know that it is also super easy to make crispy air fryer bacon.

So it was fate that a bacon and chicken lover like me was going to put the two together in the air fryer, right? Oh goodness – this one is a match made in heaven!

Crispy, salty bacon wrapped around tender, moist chicken breasts…what’s not to love about that combination?

We kept this really simple with a seasoning mixture that takes just a second to stir together, but the options are endless. You could go the Cajun route and use your favorite Cajun seasoning to add some spice, or you could brush on honey mustard during the last couple of minutes of cooking. You could add BBQ sauce or season your chicken with ranch seasoning. So many ways to mix this up and make it your own!

Ingredient Notes:

BAcon wrapped chicken ingredients spread out on a countertop.

Chicken – You need 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts that are similar in size. Pound them to an even thickness if needed.

Bacon– You’ll need 8 slices of regular cut bacon. Thick cut bacon will take too long to cook and won’t crisp up as nicely.

Seasoning– Garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, parsley, salt, and pepper.

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast in the Air Fryer:

Breaded raw chicken.

Season the Chicken- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Combine all your seasoning ingredients to a small bowl and sprinkle over both sides of the chicken. Make sure to really coat the chicken in the seasoning mixture.

Wrap in Bacon – Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each chicken breast, and tuck the ends of the bacon under the breast so it doesn’t come unwrapped.

Air Fry the Chicken – Place your chicken in your air fryer basket and air fry for 12 minutes at 380 degrees F. Make sure to leave a bit of space between each piece of chicken for the air to flow or the bacon won’t crisp up as well.

Increase the temp to 400 degrees and cook for 2 more minutes. This should crisp up your bacon and ensure that the chicken is cooked through.

FAQ:

Should my bacon wrapped chicken breast be a little pink when it is done cooking?

The bacon may leave a bit of a pink tint around the edges of the chicken, which is completely safe. It’s always best to check for doneness with a meat thermometer. Chicken should be 165 degrees.

How should I store my leftovers?

Keep them in an air tight container in your fridge for up to 4 days. You can reheat in your air fryer at 380 degrees until warm. It should take about 4-5 minutes.
