Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders are a family favorite! Seasoned skinless, boneless chicken tenders wrapped in center cut bacon, and smothered in sugar free BBQ sauce-making them lower in sugar and more healthier! via @pounddropper

Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders are a family favorite! Seasoned skinless, boneless chicken tenders wrapped in center cut bacon, and smothered in sugar free BBQ sauce-making them lower in sugar and more healthier! Great as an appetizer, weekday lunch, dinner, or as a midday snack!

Servings: Makes 12 tenders 

GREEN: 1 smartpoints for 1 tender or 3 smartpoints for 2 tenders 

BLUE/PURPLE: 1 Smartpoint per tender

 

What ingredients do I need to make these Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders?

  • Skinless, boneless chicken tenders– or you can use skinless, boneless chicken breasts sliced into 12 strips
  • Center cut bacon or turkey bacon slices– I use Oscar Mayer center cut bacon 
  • Light brown sugar-unpacked.  I only use 2 tsp which doesn’t impact the overall point value. If you wanted you could use a zero point brown sugar sweetener such as Lakanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener.  
  • Paprika-for seasoning    
  • Garlic powder-for seasoning   
  • Onion powder-for seasoning   
  • Pepper -for seasoning
  • Seasoned salt-for seasoning   
  • Sugar free BBQ sauce-I love Sweet Baby Ray’s No Sugar Added Original Barbecue Sauce
     or Hughes Sugar Free BBQ
  • Green onions– thinly sliced for garnish

 

How do I make these Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders?

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil that has been lightly sprayed with non stick cooking spray and set aside. (I like to cook the tenders on a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and spray the wire rack with non stick cooking spray-but if you don’t have one-don’t stress-you can just lay the tenders on the lightly coated foil.)

In a small bowl mix light brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, seasoned salt. Mix until well combined.

Place the chicken breast tenders into a shallow plate or bowl. Lightly coat chicken tenders with seasoning mixture.

Wrap one a piece of bacon around each chicken tender and secure it with a toothpick, if needed.

Place wrapped chicken tenders, seam down onto prepared baking sheet or wire rack in a single layer.

Cook for about 22-25 minutes remove from oven.

Using a basting brush, brush each chicken tender with sugar free BBQ sauce.

Place bacon wrapped chicken tenders back in the oven for another 5 minutes

 and an additional 2 minutes for broiling or until the bacon is a nice golden brown. 

 

Garnish with thinly sliced green onion, if desired!

 

Ingredients:

  • 12 skinless, boneless chicken tenders or chicken breasts sliced into 12 strips
  • 12 center cut bacon or turkey bacon slices- I use Oscar Mayer center cut bacon 
  • 2 tsp light brown sugar, unpacked 
  • 1 tsp paprika  
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder  
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder    
  • 1/8 tsp pepper  
  • 1/2 tsp seasoned salt 
  • 3 Tbsp sugar free BBQ sauce-I love Baby Rays sugar free BBQ sauce or G Huges 
  • Green onions, thinly sliced for garnish

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

    Are the points based in using pork bacon or turkey bacon? Or doesn’t it matter?

    How big do you cut the tenders if cutting from a breast? 12 strips of how much weight or size of strip?

    I had them in for 30 minutes and then another 10 in broiler and the bacon still wasnt cooked right. Any ideas. I didnt use center cut could that have made the difference. Tia

      Hi Genene

      Yes, it can vary depending on the bacon you use. It depends on the brand and cut of bacon- some may need a longer cooking time. I suggest increasing the cooking time 15-20 minutes if that is the case.

      Thanks!
