MMM, so good! Lyndon turned 30 this fall so we had a few parties for him and I planned each menu to be his favorite foods. Which of course includes lot's of chocolate and BACON! This was the only appetizer that I made for each party because they were just that good. You seriously have to try these...
Sorry about the picture quality, I had to make it quick before they were all gone ;)
Bacon Wrapped Chicken
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 -16 oz. package sliced bacon (I used double smoked, maple flavored and original, and all turned out great)
2/3 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, chili powder and cumin.
Cut slab of sliced bacon into thirds.
Coat a rack or broiler pan with cooking spray, and place on top of foil-lined cookie sheet (makes clean-up a breeze ;) )
Make an assembly line: Chicken, wrap with bacon, push a toothpick through to hold it together, roll/rub in chili powder mixture and place on rack.
-- To make ahead, I did all the wrapping, then put in a container in the fridge, so after all the guests arrived I just had to pop them on the tray and put in the oven, it worked great!
Bake at 350 for 25 min, or until bacon is crisp.
Really quite an easy appetizer and your guests(husband) will be impressed.
