Sweet & Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Chicken
Ingredients:
- Bacon – 1 lb. package
- 1+ lbs. of chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
I was thawing chicken…and wondering what the heck I was going to make for dinner! I was thinking shish kababs or something on the grill, but I couldn’t find a recipe that 1. I liked and 2. That didn’t have 17 million ingredients – that I didn’t have on hand! I finally found this recipe (no kabobs nor on the grill) and thankfully Jerome absolutely loved it – he kept sneaking to the kitchen for more chicken bites. Pretty dang easy – only 5 ingredients – and I could even make these as appetizers for a party!!! Sweet & Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Ingredients:
~ in a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cumin & chili powder. Cut the chicken into chunks…mine were about 1 inch in size. Take the bacon, cut in half, and wrap each piece of chicken with ½ piece bacon…use a toothpick to hold together. Roll the wrapped chicken in the sugar mixture, coating the sides and ends. Place the coated pieces on a wire rack - on top of a tinfoil covered cookie sheet. Bake for about 35+ minutes on 350…I turned the pieces over at about 30 minutes to make sure the bacon was crispy on all sides. I served it with some green beans – easy meal and atkins/paleo/no carb diet friendly!
