Easy bacon wrapped chicken tenders:
Ingredients:
- 6 chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 500 gram package of bacon
- 1 tbsp chili pepper
- 1 tbsp garlic salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Costco has the best deal on chicken, I buy a large box of frozen chicken breasts once a month at least.
Directions:
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat, about 375 degrees F.
- Mix together the chili pepper, garlic salt and brown sugar.
- Coat the chicken strips with the mixture.
- Wrap each strip with a piece of bacon.
- Grill the chicken on medium for 20-25 minutes.
Flip each strip half way through grilling to help cook the bacon thoroughly.
The trick to making the perfect bacon wrapped chicken is cooking it at a lower temperature for longer. These do not need high heat, it will just burn the bacon and not cook it evenly.

Kitchen essentials for grilling:
- I love using these non-stick T-fal Frying Pans for all of my sauteing.
- These silicone tongs are perfect for flipping and grasping.
- This Henckel Knife is my favorite for slicing and dicing in the kitchen.
- These grilling bags make clean up a breeze and these parchment paper bags are perfect for packaging.
You can also make this recipe in the oven! It’s just as delicious…
This recipe makes the most tender, juicy chicken that we have ever had! It’s such a versatile dish too, with a ton of different variations. Try using a variety of bacon, or chipotle seasoning instead of the chili mixture.
