Red Lobster Maple Bacon Chicken Recipe

This Red Lobster maple bacon chicken is all about that balance of smoky, sweet, and savory in every bite.
I cook the bacon until just crispy, then brush the chicken with a maple glaze while grilling to get a light caramelization.
A mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese melts into the chicken perfectly, giving it that signature richness.
Letting the chicken rest under foil for five minutes after cooking keeps it juicy and helps the cheese settle.

Ingredients
  
  • 4 Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 cups Maple Syrup

Instructions
 
  • Start by preheating your oven to 375°F.
  • This is crucial for ensuring the chicken cooks evenly and thoroughly.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, water, chopped cherries, and white sugar.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat until it thickens slightly.
  • Wrap each chicken breast with bacon slices and place them in a baking dish.
  • Pour the maple glaze evenly over the chicken.
  • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
  • This adds a fresh touch to your dish's presentation and flavor.
