Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps

I can't help but start thinking about what to serve on Super Bowl Sunday.  For me, the day is as much about food as football.  Especially this year now that the Chiefs are out of the playoffs.  I think this will make a perfect game day appetizer.  

2 1/4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces

1 lb sliced bacon, cut into thirds

2/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 Tbsp chili powder

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Line a baking sheet pan with foil and place a cooling rack on top.  Generously coat the rack with nonstick cooking spray.

In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.

Wrap a slice of bacon around each chicken cube and secure with a toothpick.

Dredge the wrapped chicken in the grown sugar mixture.  

Place the chicken pieces on the rack and bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crisp.

Serve immediately and force yourself to share!
