Chicken Wrapped in Bacon

I have made this now a couple of times and it's super easy and very good!

 You basically just season the chicken then wrap it with either a half piece of bacon or a whole piece then roll in brown sugar!  Place it in a pan and let it cook!

I like to buy chicken breast and cut it but you could use tenders.  The problem with tenders is they always have that white tendon in them and it's so hard to get it out without messing up the tender!

You could even use a whole chicken breast and wrap it with bacon instead of thirds.... totally up to you! 

The brown sugar really gives this great flavor and honestly I didn't think of it as being sweet.  The seasonings and bacon along with the brown sugar go well together!


Sprinkle season on chicken

Wrap bacon around each piece, I cut the bacon in half but you can wrap one whole piece around and tuck it under the wrapped bacon.  If you use a half piece of bacon then I use toothpicks to hold it on.



Coat with brown sugar by just turning it around a couple of times in the sugar

You can cook it in a skillet, on the grill or in the oven.  I used a grill skillet here.





Chicken Wrapped in Bacon 

4 chicken breasts cut in thirds (12 pieces)
Bacon slices
salt and pepper to taste
lawry’s garlic salt (with green lid)
chili powder
brown sugar

Cut each breast into 3 pieces, season all the chicken with the spices, then wrap a bacon slice around each piece, roll in brown sugar and either cook in a skillet or an oven proof dish.  I cooked it both times in a skillet but thought I might try the oven next time.  The skillet works great though and only takes about 20 to 25 minutes.

 If you use the oven bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is nice and brown and crispy.
