Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 12 slices compliant bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Cut each chicken breast into pieces approximately 1 inch by 1 inch. You should end up with about 24 pieces.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the chicken pieces into a larger bowl. Pour the olive oil spice mixture over the chicken and toss until all pieces are well coated.
Step 5
Cut each slice of bacon in half so you have 24 smaller slices.
Step 6
Wrap each piece of chicken with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. Try to overlap the ends of the bacon slightly to ensure it stays wrapped.
Step 7
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken bites onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
Step 9
Optional: Turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes to crisp the bacon further, but keep a close watch to prevent burning.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Step 11
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish and serve immediately.
