2largeboneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into uniform 1 inch chunks
1teaspoonkosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅔cupbrown sugar, divided
Instructions
Place the chicken breast chunks into a bowl.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and ⅓ cup brown sugar and toss to fully coat.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a Silpat and set aside.
Par-cook the pieces of bacon in the microwave for 1 minute- 1 minute and 20 seconds (this will vary by microwave). Make sure to form a single layer on a plate. I did them in batches.
Wrap a piece of the cut up bacon around each chicken chunk and secure it with a toothpick.
Once all chicken chunks are wrapped in bacon, place them all back in the bowl with the other ⅓ cup brown sugar and gently toss to coat each one.
Spread them on the pan in a single layer but not touching.
Bake for 15 minutes and if needed, turn up the oven to broil and broil them for a couple minutes to crisp up the bacon.
