Sweet and Sassy Chicken


These were inspired from my sister, Amanda. Lately she has been cooking up a storm and I can't wait to try more of the recipes she is whipping up. She made this recipe as an appetizer, so feel free to simply dice the chicken rather than doing whole chicken breasts and serve them with a toothpick! They have a delicious flavor from the different spices, and the bacon cooks into them perfectly. Thanks for a new go-to meal Amanda!

Mix the brown sugar, chili powder, minced garlic and dried basil together. Cover chicken completely on both sides with mixture. Wrap 2 strips bacon around each chicken breast and secure with a toothpick. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until cooked through.

Should this be dried minced garlic or fresh?
