Grilled French Toast with Bacon Wrapped Chicken
A fun Fathers Day Grilled Brunch idea. The brown sugar bourbon french toast makes this a total upgrade on chicken and waffles
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
Toast
- 1 loaf Italian bread
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
Chicken
- 6 chicken breasts
- salt and pepper
- paprika, cumin, and oregano
- 12 slices thick cut bacon
- maple syrup
Instructions
French toast
- Slice the loaf into 6 hearty 2 inch slices. Arrange in a baking dish. Mix all the other toast ingredients together and whisk well. Pour over the bread and let soak for 1 hour, flipping half way through. By the end, most of the liquid should be soaked into the bread. Grill about 6 minutes a side to brown and cook through.
Chicken
- Remove the tenders from the chicken breasts if they are attached. Trim the chicken if necessary to make them all uniform size and manageable. Rub the chicken with salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, and paprika. Tightly wrap the bacon around the chicken, 2 slices per breast. Use skewers or toothpicks to secure the bacon. Grill the chicken to brown the bacon and fully cook the breasts.
Serve it up
- To serve, first plate the French toast, and top with the chicken. Smother with a good maple syrup.
