Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and set a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet.
  2. Toss the chicken tenders with paprika, garlic powder, and pepper.
  3. Wrap each tender in a slice of bacon, tucking the ends underneath.
  4. Arrange on the rack and bake 22 to 25 minutes until the bacon is crisp and chicken is cooked through.
  5. Rest 5 minutes before serving so the juices settle.

Notes

A wire rack lets the bacon crisp up all the way around.
