Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenders
- 4 oz thinly sliced bacon
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If not pre-cut, slice chicken tenders into strips about 1/2 inch thick.
- Lightly season chicken with salt and pepper (go easy, as bacon is salty).
- Wrap each chicken strip with a slice of bacon, securing it snugly.
- Arrange wrapped tenders on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and chicken is cooked through.
- Serve with your favorite side or dipping sauce.
Notes
Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
For extra crispiness, place tenders on a wire rack over the baking sheet.
