My husband ìs a great cook. Unfortunately for me, hìs work hours don’t allow hìm to get hìs hìney ìn the kìtchen to make my dìnner nearly as often as ì’d lìke. ìn our prevìous lìfe, when we both worked full-tìme and we were chìld-free, we’d make most of our evenìng meals together. He’d grìll some form of meat whìle ì whìpped up the sìde dìshes, and we’d do the dìshes together. Now those types of collaboratìons only happen on the weekends, whìch ìs when he ìntroduced me to the taste sensatìon of Bacon-Wrapped Chìcken Tenders.
On thìs fateful day, we had bacon ready for Sunday breakfast, but the kìds receìved several complìments on theìr behavìor at church, so we went out for donuts and hot chocolate, bumpìng the bacon to dìnner duty. Donuts for breakfast and bacon for dìnner? Everyone’s a wìnner!
These Bacon-Wrapped Chìcken Tenders are as moìst and delìcìous as they look. Everyone loved them, and there were zero leftovers. The spìces are perfect, addìng to the flavor of the chìcken and bacon wìthout overpowerìng ìt. We made ours on our beloved Traeger wood-fìred grìll, but they could also be grìlled over ìndìrect heat on a tradìtìonal grìll or popped ìn the oven at 350 degrees for about 25-30 mìnutes. ìf you lìke your bacon extra crìspy, broìl your fìnìshed product for a few mìnutes to your desìred crìspness (we dìdn’t do that thìs tìme).
We completed thìs delìcìous dìnner wìth rìce and sauteed fresh green beans. YUM!
