If you're looking for a mouth-watering main dish that combines flavour, convenience, and visual appeal, look no further than Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts. Ours are naturally-raised, boneless chicken breasts wrapped in Applewood-smoked bacon offer juicy, smoky delight in every bite. Plus, they’re Non-GMO, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, and cage-free — a guilt-free indulgence.

If you value quality ingredients and heart-warming meals, these bacon-wrapped chicken breasts make a star entrée. Let's elevates them by pairing the right sides and accompaniments. Here are some inspired ideas to create a balanced, flavour-filled supper that your family and guests will love.


1. Classic Comfort Sides

Mashed Potatoes & Gravy

Nothing beats smooth, buttery mashed potatoes drizzled with gravy — the perfect base to soak up delicious bacon juices. This pairing brings both comfort and richness to the table.

Roasted Vegetables

Think broccoli, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or carrots, roasted until lightly caramelized. Their natural sweetness complements the salty bacon and tender chicken.

Caesar or Mixed Green Salad

A crisp Caesar with crunchy croutons, parmesan, and tangy dressing—or a spring mixed-green salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and vinaigrette—provides a refreshing contrast to the hearty chicken.


2. Starch Delights with a Twist

Scalloped or Cheesy Potatoes

Rich and indulgent, scalloped potatoes bring creamy depth and pair beautifully with the smoky bacon-wrapped chicken for a comforting twist.

Rice Pilaf or Jasmine Rice

Light and fragrant rice pilafs add an elegant touch, balancing the robust flavour of bacon and chicken.

Pasta Salad or BLT Pasta Salad

Pasta tossed with crisp bacon, lettuce, tomato, and creamy dressing makes a summer-ready side that’s a delightful pairing.


3. Sheet-Pan Simplicity

For a hassle-free and visually stunning meal, try a one-pan sheet dinner:

  • One-Pan Bacon-Wrapped Chicken with Vegetables
    Arrange bacon-wrapped chicken and cubed potatoes on a single sheet pan, cooking them together. Add asparagus partway through to finish the meal in one go — minimal prep, maximum flavour.

This method creates a seamless blend of flavours while you spend less time fussing and more time enjoying.


4. Sauce & Condiment Accents

  • BBQ Glaze or Maple-Balsamic Drizzle
    Brush the chicken with a smokey-sweet BBQ sauce or maple-balsamic glaze near the end of baking. It adds a glossy, flavour-packed finish that’s especially delicious.

  • Honey Mustard or Maple-Dijon Sauce
    A tangy sauce served alongside brings a hint of sweetness and acidity — a perfect foil for the rich bacon.


5. Light & Vibrant Complements

Grilled or Steamed Asparagus

Lightly grill or steam asparagus until snap-tender. It’s fresh, green, and adds a lovely textural contrast.

Corn & Peas

Sweet corn or green peas offer fresh pops of sweetness and balance the smoky, savoury chicken.

Pilaf or Risotto

A creamy risotto or a nutty pilaf serves as a comforting, flavour-absorbing base that complements the rich poultry.


6. Canadian Inspirations

For a nod to local flavours:

  • Maple-Glazed Carrots – Toss glazed carrots with pure Canadian maple syrup for sweet, earthy undertones that pair wonderfully with bacon.

  • Prairie Grain Salad – Mix quinoa or farro with roasted root vegetables and a light vinaigrette. This hearty, rustic side reflects Canadian produce and elevates the meal.

  • Wild Rice & Mushroom Medley – Earthy mushrooms and nutty wild rice bring depth and texture, perfect for satisfying the heartiest of appetites.
