Slice chicken lengthwise into 1-inch thick slices. Take each slice of chicken and cut it in half lengthwise leaving about 1 inch uncut on one end of the strip.

Place chicken strips in a bowl. Add ½ teaspoon of salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix to combine then transfer to the refrigerator.
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Slice each piece of bacon lengthwise creating 12 strips in total.
-
Wrap the cut strip of bacon around the asparagus. Wrap a marinated chicken strip around the bacon-wrapped asparagus. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
-
Place each bacon chicken asparagus twist on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes.
-
Turn up the heat to broil and allow cooking for about 10 minutes. Flip the twists over, and broil for about 10 minutes.
-
In a bowl, add the Greek yogurt parsley, dill, and the remaining salt and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.
-
Remove bacon asparagus twists from baking sheet, and let cool. Serve with herb yogurt dipping sauce.
