Saw this on tv and looked it up on the Internet. Paula Deen's Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps



Ingredients:

1 (1 pound) package sliced bacon

1 1/4 lb boneless, skinless, chicken breasts (about 4 breasts)

2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350. Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Cut each bacon slice into thirds. Wrap each chicken cube with bacon and secure with a wooden pick. Stir together brown sugar and chili powder. Dredge wrapped chicken in mixture. Coat a rack and broiler pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken on rack in broiler pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes until bacon is crisp.
