Sweet and spicy bacon-wrapped chicken

Ingredients:

  • 8 boneless skinless chicken breast tenders
  • 8 thick slices smoked bacon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle chili powder

    Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a high-sided baking sheet with a Silpat.
    2. Lay out chicken tenders and wrap a piece of bacon around the whole tender. Using two toothpicks, secure the top and bottom of the bacon.
    3. On a plate, mix together the brown sugar and chipotle chili powder. Roll bacon-wrapped chicken in the brown sugar and place on prepared baking sheet.
    4. Bake for about 35 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the bacon is crisp. If the bacon is not as crispy as you would like, you can place it under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp.
    5. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, roll in the sugary sauce that is on the pan and serve. Remember that the toothpicks are at the top and bottom of the chicken tenders.
