Sweet & Savory Chicken Bites

Time to continue my series of recipes from Hubby's birthday party. This one is an absolute keeper and I will definitely be making these again for pretty much any party I attend. They're quick, they're easy, they're tasty, they're wrapped in bacon! What's not to love? These came out of the oven, into a dish, and never made it to the food table. People in the kitchen had some, then on my walk (about 15 seconds or so) people were grabbing at them. That's always a good sign of a keeper recipe. I changed the recipe slightly by adding some of the Sweet & Smoky rub we love in with the brown sugar, making it a sweet and savory version. It was definitely the way to go!

Sweet & Savory Chicken Bacon Bites
Adapted from Jo Cooks

2 chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
Salt and Pepper to taste
8-12 strips of bacon, cut in half the long way, then cut in half the short way (into 4 pieces)
3/4 cup of brown sugar
3 tbsp. chipotle seasoning or any other seasoning you might like

1. Combine brown sugar and seasoning into a shallow dish.
2. Season chicken chunks with salt and pepper and wrap each piece with a piece of bacon.
3. Roll in the sugar mix and place on cookie rack on a cookie pan. (You don't have to use the rack but it helps everything cook evenly all around.)
4. Bake for 45 minutes until chicken is cooked and bacon is nice and crispy.
5. Enjoy!
