Take-out Tuesday, Bacon Brown Sugar Chicken
At my house, this is one of our go to dinners
it goes together in a snap and everybody loves it!
I use precut chicken tenders which makes assembly a breeze
Chicken tenders, brown sugar and bacon are all you need,
and if you have time,
a marinade for an extra flavor boost
{I like to use teriyaki or Hawaiian}
Put the tenders on a parchment paper lined baking sheet
Top or wrap* each tender with 1/2 slice of bacon
and sprinkle liberally with brown sugar
*for grilling, wrap the bacon around the chicken
and for baking just lay it on top
Now all you have to do is pop them in the oven or put them on the grill
Serve them with crisp tender green beans
or Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes and
a Buttery Almond topped green salad
You can also serve them as an appetizer,
cut the tenders into smaller pieces
and serve them with toothpicks or cocktail forks
Great for football watching!

Ingredients
- chicken tenders* or boneless chicken breasts cut into tenders
- thick cut bacon strips
- brown sugar
- teriyaki or Hawaiian marinade
Instructions
- Marinate chicken tenders for 2-3 hours if time permits

- Wrap each tender with a bacon piece, stretching to surround chicken, for grilling, or simply lay the bacon on top of chicken for baking
