Oh Man...These are so good! Well anything wrapped in bacon is!..and being rolled in brown sugar doesn't hurt either. They are the perfect appetizer...I saw Paula Deen make these on one of her shows a while back...Doesn't Paula have the best recipes?
These are so simple to throw together...only 4 ingredients! Chicken...Bacon...Brown Sugar...Chili Powder...Um...Paula's face is on my package of chicken....Creepy!
These are so easy, you really don't even need a recipe...First cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes...I had some help...It's impossible to take a picture while your cutting something.
Wrap the chicken with a strip bacon and poke it with a toothpick to keep it together.
Then dredge in a mixture or brown sugar and chili powder...Bake...Enjoy!
Sweet Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites
adapted from Paula's Home Cooking
1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4)
1 lb sliced bacon
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tbs chili powder
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Cut each slice of bacon into thirds. Wrap each piece of chicken with a slice of bacon and secure with a wooden toothpick. In a bowl stir together the brown sugar and chili powder. Dredge the bacon wrapped chicken in the mixture and place on the rack of a broiler pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. (I used thick cut bacon so mine cooked a few minutes longer.)
Ummm...I HAVE to make these soon! Pinning them so I won't forget. Yeah, Paula on the chicken package....

I wanna lick my computer screen clean. Your food looks delicious
ReplyDeleteOh yes...these look like succulent little gems.
ReplyDeleteI usually make this with shrimp or scallops. I never thought to use chicken. That would be a lot cheaper to use when making the appetizers for a large group.
ReplyDeleteyummy!:))
ReplyDeletehave a happy day!

Anything wrap in bacon is nice! I like it with scallop or prawn. Should try it coated with sugar next time! :)
ReplyDeleteThis look really good. I'll have to have J make them for us. I can't stand to touch raw meat. I should invest in some heavy duty gloves...

ReplyDeleteI tried a similar recipe years ago and was surprised that I didn't like it. I need to try it again, how can it be bad with the great ingredients?
ReplyDeleteI made this from Paula's recipe too and it was a hit. It's like pig candy rolled around chicken..yum :)
