Bacon and Chicken Garlic Wrap
Category: Poultry Recipes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Serving Size: 4 servings


Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Chicken fillet (cut into small cubes) 1 lb
Thin slices of bacon (cut to fit cubes) 9 slices
Garlic cloves (minced) 6 cloves

Directions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help the bacon crisp up nicely and ensure the chicken is fully cooked.

  2. Prepare the Baking Tray: Line a baking tray with aluminum foil for easy cleanup after baking. This will prevent sticking and make your life easier when it’s time to wash up.

  3. Garlic Rub: Take the minced garlic and rub it generously over each piece of chicken. The garlic will infuse the chicken with a bold, aromatic flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.

  4. Wrap the Chicken: Take a piece of bacon and wrap it around each garlic-coated chicken bite. Ensure that each chicken piece is snugly wrapped, as the bacon will help retain moisture and add flavor as it crisps up in the oven.

  5. Secure with Toothpicks: Use toothpicks to secure the bacon around the chicken. This helps keep everything in place while cooking, preventing the bacon from unraveling.

  6. Transfer to Baking Sheet: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is a little space between each piece to allow the bacon to cook evenly and crisp up properly.

  7. Bake: Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them, and once the bacon is crispy and golden, your dish is ready!

  8. Serve and Enjoy: After baking, remove the toothpicks and transfer the bacon-wrapped chicken bites to a serving plate. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy these delicious, savory bites!
