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!

Makes 12 tenders

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!
