Sweet and Spicy Bacon Chicken
I have a thing for foods with a hint of sweetness. I also have a weakness for spicy foods. And bacon. You can bet that this one was a winner in my book. All my kids liked it too.

- Cut each breast into 3 pieces, season all the chicken with the spices, then wrap a bacon slice around each piece, roll in brown sugar and place into an oven proof dish....make sure you have some olive oil in the dish too, like 2 or 3 tablespoons is fine {I skipped this since I grilled them. I honestly think you could coat your dish with nonstick cooking spray instead to save a few calories}.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is nice and brown and crispy. Delicious served with mashed potatoes with some of the gravy from the chicken drizzled on top.
- Also great on the grill! No juices to drizzle on anything, but still delicious!

My daughter has decided that she does not like bacon, so she peeled hers off. Thankfully, there were many kind individuals offering to eat it for her so it did not go to waste ;)
