Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon bits
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven:

    Set oven to 400°F (205°C).

  2. Coat chicken mixture:

    In a large bowl, toss chicken tenders with bacon bits, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. Arrange on sheet:

    Cover a baking sheet with parchment. Place chicken in a single layer, leaving space between pieces.

  4. Bake until done:

    Bake 20-25 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked (internal temp at least 165°F/75°C) and bacon is crisp.

  5. Rest before serving:

    Take out of oven and allow to rest a few minutes before serving.
