Irresistible Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Tenders

These chicken tenders disappear as soon as they come out of the oven—they’re that good!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Preparation:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together black pepper, salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken tenders and sprinkle them evenly with the spice mixture.
  4. Wrap each chicken tender with a slice of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
  5. Arrange the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
  7. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after removing from the oven before serving.

Variations and Tips:

  • For a spicy kick, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the spice blend.
  • For a sweet and smoky flavor, coat the chicken tenders with sugar-free barbecue sauce before wrapping them in bacon.
  • Experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary to create your own custom seasoning mix.
