Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 12 slices bacon
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes, ensuring the pieces are similar in size for even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken cubes, tossing to coat evenly.
Cut each bacon slice in half.
Wrap each chicken cube with a half slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick to hold it in place.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the bacon-wrapped chicken bites to the skillet in batches, cooking for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the bacon is lightly browned.
Transfer the seared bacon-wrapped chicken bites to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm, either on their own or with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce, and enjoy!
