Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 12 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 12 pieces toothpicks
- 1 spritz cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1 inch in size. You should get about 12 pieces from 2 chicken breasts.
Step 3
Cut each bacon slice in half so you have 24 shorter strips. This makes wrapping easier.
Step 4
Wrap each piece of chicken with a half bacon slice and secure with a toothpick.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper together.
Step 6
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the wrapped chicken bites, coating all sides as best as possible.
Step 7
Arrange the chicken bacon bites on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Step 8
Lightly spritz the bites with cooking spray to help the bacon crisp up.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack!
