Description

Chicken wrapped in bacon is a simple and delicious meal or snack that can be prepared in the oven. The bacon helps preserve moisture and adds a savory taste.


Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs chicken tenders about 16 tenders

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp thyme

16 slices no sugar bacon

2 tsp kosher salt

2 tsp ground cayenne pepper reduce for less spice


Instructions

Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 425 degrees F. Using aluminum foil, line two rimmed baking pans and place a metal rack on top.

Place the herbs and spices in a large plastic zipper bag. Seal the bag and shake.

In the zipper bag, add the chicken tenders. Shake well to coat the chicken completely in the spice blend.

Wrap each chicken tender in bacon, tucking the ends. On the rack in the prepared pan, lay the chicken tenders that are wrapped in bacon.

Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. If needed, place the pan under the broiler for about 1 to 2 minutes until the bacon is crispy.

Notes

For each serving, there are about 2 tenders

If using an air fryer, the cooking time is about 25 to 30 minutes at 400 degrees F.

How To Make it Gluten free

Look for bacon that is gluten-free. Always check the ingredients and label before buying, especially if you are super sensitive to gluten.
