sweet chicken bacon wraps

found on foodnetwork.com

made these for the super bowl yesterday. They were a huge hit. Who doesn't love bacon?! 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless, chicken breasts (about 4 breasts) 
  • 1 (1-pound) package sliced bacon
  • 2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Cut each bacon slice into thirds. Wrap each chicken cube with bacon and secure with a wooden pick. Stir together brown sugar and chili powder. Dredge wrapped chicken in mixture. Coat a rack and broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken wrap on rack in broiler pan. Bake 350 for 30 to 35 minutes or until bacon is crisp.

I used 6 chicken breasts and the brown sugar/chili powder mixture was plenty. Also, it seemed to take a lot longer to cook in my oven (maybe 45 minutes?) not sure if it was because I put so many on the pan or if my oven was being lame-o. Just make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before serving them. obviously.
