Serves: 4
Ingredients
1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs*
6-8 slices of bacon
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper
½ cup brown sugar
optional garnish: chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl. Roll each chicken piece into the spices and wrap in bacon. Place in a 10 inch skillet or a 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until chicken reads 165 degrees and is no longer pink. You can broil the tops of the chicken for 1-2 minutes to crisp the bacon at the end.
Notes
*You can also use tenders, I just like being able to wrap the bacon completely around the chicken.
