Yield: 8tenders
Ingredients
1lbboneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 8 individual (2 oz each) tenders
8slicescenter cut bacon
4tablespoonsbarbecue sauce, I use Stubbs Original, try to find one low in carbs/sugar
4tspbrown sugar

Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with a cooking rack.
Wrap each chicken tender in a piece of bacon. Use a pastry brush to brush all sides of each wrapped tender with barbecue sauce and place them on the rack on the baking sheet.
Combine the brown sugar and chili powder in a small dish and stir until mixed. Sprinkle this mixture over the chicken tenders. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Turn on your broiler (make sure your oven rack is in the appropriate position, in my oven this is toward the top) and return the tenders to the oven. Broil for about 2 minutes until the bacon is crisp.
