Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 strips of bacon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get that oven nice and hot so your chicken cooks evenly and your bacon crisps perfectly.
- Slice each chicken breast into 4 long, even strips. This gives you 8 tenders—just the right size for wrapping and snacking.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken strips in this mixture so they’re well coated.
- Wrap each chicken strip in a slice of bacon, making sure the bacon overlaps slightly and hugs the chicken snugly. Lay them seam-side down in a baking dish or on a lined sheet pan.
- Sprinkle any leftover brown sugar mixture over the top of the wrapped tenders for extra caramelized goodness.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the chicken is cooked through. If you’d like, you can broil them for 1–2 minutes at the end to get that bacon extra crispy.
