1-Diving into this recipe feels like a fun adventure in the kitchen, starting with prepping your space for success. First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit this step helps the bacon crisp up without letting the sugar burn too quickly. It’s that simple start that sets the stage for a meal everyone will love.

2-Next, slice each of the 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts into four long, thin strips for easy wrapping. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper to create a tasty coating. Coat the chicken strips thoroughly with this mixture, making sure every piece gets that sweet-savory touch.

3-Wrap each strip with one piece of thin-cut bacon, tucking the ends under to keep it all in place during baking. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle any leftover brown sugar mix on top for extra flavor. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the bacon turns crispy and the chicken cooks through, but keep an eye on it to avoid burning the sugar. Finally, let the tenders cool a bit before serving them hot and fresh.
