Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites

This is a guest post from Louise Hendon, the co-author of the Essential Paleo Cookbook and co-founder of PaleoMagazine.com. She used to hate cooking, but that changed when she started a Primal/Paleo lifestyle over five years ago and discovered how food could taste delicious without spending hours slaving in the kitchen.

And in this recipe, Louise shows us how just a few simple ingredients and 10 minutes of prep time can result in such a delicious and healthy snack.

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites:

1 large chicken breast, cut into small bites (approx. 22-27 pieces)
8-9 thin slices of bacon, cut into thirds

Garlic Mayo:

1/4 cup Primal Kitchen Mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch of salt
Dash of chili powder (optional)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 ºF and line a baking tray with aluminum foil.

Wrap each short bacon piece around each small chunk of chicken. Place the bacon wrapped chicken bites on the baking tray.  (Try to space them out so they’re not touching.)

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the bacon turns crispy, turning the pieces after 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the garlic mayonnaise ingredients in a small bowl and use a fork to whisk it slightly.

Serve the bacon wrapped chicken bites with cocktail sticks and the garlic mayo.
