Sweet and Spicy Bacon Chicken

Chris said that this is one of his favorite recipes that I have ever made.  It was pretty delicious, and not a lot of work, so I highly recommend it the next time you are trying to think of something different to try with chicken.  I baked the chicken, and it was great, but you could also grill it!  Do not be afraid of using the spices and brown sugar; I applied them pretty heavily and even sprinkled some extra brown sugar on top.  Enjoy!


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 used cooking spray instead) .
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!
