Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites

Something magical when crispy bacon meets juicy chicken. Oven-baked bacon-wrapped chicken bites have a sweet, smoky flavor and are super simple to make. It’s low-carb, gluten-free, and dairy-free. Omit the brown sugar, and it is Keto and Paleo-friendly.

Or, if you follow a Keto or Paleo diet, you may want to substitute Swerve, a natural brown sugar alternative, instead of regular brown sugar.

Ingredients

• Wooden picks to secure bacon around chicken, like this
• 1 and 1/2 pounds chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 pound thin-sliced bacon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika

What temperature do you cook my Chicken Bites?

I cooked them at 350°F for 20 minutes. Most notably, if your chicken is cut into cubes larger than 1 inch or if you use thick-cut bacon, it will take longer to cook.

I can almost 100% guarantee that everyone who tries these will like them. I’m not a big meat-eater, but bacon really does make everything awesome!

My meat-eating boys love this recipe. I make it for their entree and serve it with vegetables and salad.

As well, my family likes to dip almost everything is a sauce. For these, I recommend BBQ sauce, Blooming Onion sauce (light), Lulu’s Wow Sauce (amazing!), Comeback Sauce, or Ranch (great on everything).
