Grilled Coffee Rubbed Bacon Wrapped Chicken



My family LOVES this recipe!!! I make it on a weekly basis these days...juicy, full of flavor and wrapped in bacon...what more could you want on your dinner plate??? Skip the bbq sauce to keep this meal totally paleo, but let me tell you the bbq "sauced" version rocks too!

4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Tommy's Brand Coffee Rub*
2 packages Applegate Organics brand Sunday Bacon
BBQ sauce - optional



Preheat gas grill to medium high heat. Place chicken breasts on large cutting board or baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides of meat with coffee rub. Wrap each chicken breast with bacon slices, slightly overlapping each slice (you will not use both packages of bacon...toss the leftover bacon in the freezer for next time). Place chicken on grill. Let cook 8 minutes before turning over. Turn over and cook another 8 minutes. Baste chicken with bbq sauce at this point if using. Continue grilling chicken, turning frequently to prevent burning, until chicken is cooked through and bacon is crisp. Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!!!

*You will find Tommy's coffee rub at Whole Foods and HEB....no time to head to the store? Combine 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp chile powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, generous pinch kosher salt and 1/2 tsp instant coffee powder and rub over chicken.
