It's no secret that I love bacon. It makes everything better. When I decided to make bacon-wrapped chicken, I thought it was going to be good. But never did I expect it to be AMAZEBALLS!!! OMG. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I made it for our good friends a few weeks ago and they told me I need to bottle the sauce, for realz. I guess that means they liked it :P
Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Tenders
Ingredients
1 lb chicken tenders (about 10 tenders)
10 strips of bacon
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup of brown sugar (I used dark, but light would work too)
2 tablespoons chili powder
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°
Mix together salt, pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, parsley and garlic powder
Rinse chicken tenders
Sprinkle spice mixture over chicken tenders and completely coat them generously
Put foil on baking pan and spray with non-stick spray
Wrap bacon strip around each chicken tender
Place each chicken tender into baking pan
Mix together brown sugar and chili powder
Sprinkle this mixture generously over bacon-wrapped chicken, pressing sugar mixture into the chicken to pack it on
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is crisp
Serve while it's hot (and drizzle the pan sauce onto the chicken for extra yummy goodness!)
