Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 12 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 12 pieces toothpicks
- 1 spritz cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1 inch in size. You should get about 12 pieces from 2 chicken breasts.
Cut each bacon slice in half so you have 24 shorter strips. This makes wrapping easier.
Wrap each piece of chicken with a half bacon slice and secure with a toothpick.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper together.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the wrapped chicken bites, coating all sides as best as possible.
Arrange the chicken bacon bites on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Lightly spritz the bites with cooking spray to help the bacon crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C).
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack!
