Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders

Bacon + Chicken.  This sounds like a win already, but add on lots of savory spices and a chili powder- brown sugar mixture and my friends let me tell ya, you have a  triple threat. The perfect blend of sweet-smokey-spicy. I made this for lunch and we loved it. Even Isaac liked it which was surprising because they have a little spicy kick to them and that boy does not like spiciness.

Ingredients

  • 1 lbs. chicken tenders, about 10 chicken tenders
  • 10 strips bacon, sliced in half length-wise (I used turkey bacon)
  • 1/2 -1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Mix together salt, paprika, black pepper, onion powder,italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  • Sprinkle mixture evenly over chicken tenders, (top and bottom) completely coating them generously in the spices.
  • Wrap two sliced bacon strips around the chicken tender. Tuck in and loose ends.
  • Mix together brown sugar and chili powder.
  • Sprinkle this mixture generously over bacon wrapped chicken, top and bottom. Press the sugar mixture into the chicken to pack it on.
  • Place the chicken on a greased grill pan.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is done and bacon is crisp. You can broil for the last few minutes if desired to crisp up the bacon more.
  • Serve piping hot! Garnish with parsley if desired.
