By bloomysgirl

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes
• 1 1/2 pounds bacon
• 2/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• Preheat oven to 350 convection. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2/3 cup dark brown sugar, 2 T chili powder and 1/2 t cumin. Mix well.
• Clean and trim about 1 1/4 pounds of skinless boneless chicken breast. Cut into approx. 1-inch cubes.
• If using thick bacon, thin out with the back edge of a chef knife. Cut the bacon in half, roll around the chicken cubes and secure with a toothpick. This is the point to cover and refrigerate for better timing.
• Prep baking sheet with aluminum foil a rack and spray with PAM.
• Roll the pieces in the brown sugar mixture. Be sure to pack some in the ends. Place on the rack.
• Bake until golden brown. About 35 minutes for me. Cover with foil on a heavy dish to keep warm until served.
