Bacon Chicken
Sweet & Spicy Bacon Chicken
I
have a thing for foods with a hint of sweetness. I also have a
weekness for spicy foods. And bacon. So you can bet that this one was a
winner in my book.
As
you can see below, the original recipe calls for this to be baked in the
oven. The advantage of that method is that you have some delicious
flavorful juices to drizzle over the meat and mashed potatoes {if you
choose to make them as a side}. It was over 100 degrees the day I made
this so there was NO FREAKING WAY that I was turning on the oven. They
were fabulous on the grill to, AND as I like to tell myself, MUCH
healthier;)
If you want to make this chicken teeming with deliciousness, here is all you will need!
Sweet and Spicy Bacon Chicken
4 chicken breasts cut in thirds (12 pieces)
Bacon slices
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder
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 place into an oven proof
dish....make sure you have some olive oil in the dish too, like 2 or 3
tablespoons is fine {I skipped this since I grilled them. I honestly
think you could coat your dish with nonstick cooking spray instead to
save a few calories}.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40
minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is nice and brown
and crispy. Delicious served with mashed potatoes with some of the
gravy from the chicken drizzled on top.
**Also great on the grill! No juices to drizzle on anything, but still delicious!
