Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound bacon
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for better air circulation and crispiness.
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1-inch in size.
Cut each slice of bacon in half to make shorter strips that are easier to wrap around the chicken pieces.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and chili powder. Stir together until evenly mixed.
Take one chicken cube and wrap it with half a slice of bacon. Secure it with a toothpick to hold the wrap in place.
Roll each bacon-wrapped chicken piece in the brown sugar and chili powder mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken bacon wraps on the wire rack, evenly spaced to allow for proper cooking and crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve as is or with your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
