Instructions
Creating Turkey Bacon Brown Sugar Chicken Tenders is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken tenders under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better.
3. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the chicken tenders.
4. Wrap with Turkey Bacon: Take a slice of turkey bacon and wrap it around each chicken tender. Overlap the bacon slightly to ensure it sticks.
5. Coat with Brown Sugar: Place the wrapped chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of each wrapped tender.
6. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken tenders. This will help the bacon crisp up during cooking.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
