BLT Chicken Tenders

Step 1

I remove the chicken tenders from the package and snip out that white tendon they sometimes have with my kitchen scissors. I then pat them dry with paper towels so that the bacon sticks better.

Step 2

Spray a pan with non stick spray, the wrap each tender in one strip of bacon. I wrap on an angle if that makes sense. Like a candy cane, so you still see parts of the chicken through the bacon.

Step 3

Place the tenders on the baking pan. heat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the tenders with the black pepper, cayenne, steak seasoning or other all purpose seasoning and the brown sugar.

Step 4

Place in oven and bake about 35 minutes. All ovens are different so check on these, you will know when they are done when the bacon is crisped up and the chicken is firm. At the end I broiled them for just a couple minutes to make them extra caramelized.

Step 5

To make the dressing, mix according to package directions, typically this is milk and mayo. I subbed a greek yogurt drink that is more liquid and better for your gut. Add the tomato powder or ketchup and the parsley. Mix to combine. You can make this ahead of time and let this sit in the fridge, It tastes better as it sits.

Step 6

Serve the chicken with lettuce, tomato and the dressing.
