Here is a new recipe I tried tonight. When I asked my fiance if he had any ideas, the text read 'chicken something i guess'. Needless to say my dear is not a chicken fan but knows I've been wanting to eat healthier lately. I decided to run to Wal-Mart and check out the cookbooks. I came across Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible and found her recipe for this. Wanting to make it a little more Weight Watcher's friendly, I reduce the amount of sugar and used chicken breast tenders. It was a hit! Jon really liked it and he never goes on about chicken. I highly recommend. Especially if you are looking for something different to put in your recipe mix.
5WW Pts+ a piece. Yield 5-6.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup soy
sauce
1/4 cup orange
juice1/2 tbsp hot sauce
2 cloves minced garlic
5-6 chicken breast tenders (approx. 1 lb)
5-6 slices of bacon
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
In a medium bowl, combine
the soy sauce, orange juice, hot sauce, and garlic. Add the chicken to the bowl
and toss to coat well with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375
degrees. Line a
baking sheet with foil and grease a wire cooling rack or coat with cooking
spray. Place the rack on the baking sheet.
Remove the chicken from
the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Wrap a bacon slice around each piece
of chicken. Secure the bacon with a toothpick.
Crumble the brown sugar
into a bowl. Dip each bacon-wrapped piece of chicken into the sugar taking care
to coat evenly. Place the chicken on the prepared rack. Bake, turning once,
until the bacon is crisp, the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
