Equipment

  • 9" x 13" Glass Casserole
  • Medium Mixing Bowl

INGREDIENTS 

Protein

  • 3 lg B/S Chicken Breasts - (or optionally, Thighs)
  • 7 slices Thick-cut Bacon

Sauce

  • ½ cup Butter - melted
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp. Onion Salt
  • ¼ tsp. Fresh Ground Black Pepper

Seasoning

  • 1 Tbsp. EVOO
  • 1 tsp. Paprika
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp. Onion Powder
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black Pepper - to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Make Sauce

  • Melt Butter in the microwave in a Medium bowl. Not too hot, just melted.
  • Add the rest if the ingredients, and whisk until well blended.

Prep Chicken

  • Slice each chicken breast lengthwise into tender-like strips. Drizzle with olive oil to coat evenly. Season all sides with Paprika, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt, and Pepper.
  • Wrap each strip with bacon, using just enough to wrap each tender end to end with minimal overlap.
  • Make sure the ends are secured beneath as you arrange the wrapped chicken pieces in a 9 x 13 casserole dish.
  • Drizzle sauce evenly on all tenders and use a pastry brush to make sure there is complete coverage.
  • Put the dish on the center rack of the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
  • Do NOT overcook. This will dry out the Chicken and may burn the Bacon.
  • Transfer the chicken to serving plates and serve warm.

Notes

This Sauce above makes an excellent Dipping Sauce for Wings, etc.
For crispy bacon, broil the chicken for an extra 2 to 3 minutes. Watch that they don’t burn.
Substitute Regular sliced Bacon but reduce baking time and be sure Chicken reaches 160°F internal temp.  You may also substitute Turkey Bacon.
