Description

Chicken bites topped with blue cheese wrapped in bacon and smothered in BBQ sauce. Amazing.

Ingredients

  • 5 slices Hickory Smoked Bacon
  • 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • ⅓ cups Blue Cheese Crumbles
  • 3 Tablespoons BBQ Sauce Plus Splash Of Water

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place a cooling rack over a baking sheet, spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.

On a large cutting board, slice bacon strips into 4 sections to get 20 small slices. Cut two chicken breasts into 20 bite-sized pieces.

To assemble, place a scant teaspoon of blue cheese on top of a piece of chicken. Place a strip of bacon on top of the blue cheese and stretch it around the piece of chicken, securing it with a toothpick. It’s fine if the bacon doesn’t stretch the entire way around! Place on the baking rack, with the blue cheese facing up.

In a small bowl, mix bbq sauce with a little water to thin it out and baste the chicken bites. Place into the preheated oven and bake 15 minutes. For crispier bacon, switch the oven to broil and cook until desired crispiness is attained. (You may have to flip your chicken bites to crisp up all sides.) Remove from the oven and serve.

I agree with all donalynn changes above, I had the same issues but they were great! Gone quickly!

I loved the combination of blue cheese, bacon and BBQ sauce. One of the things I would do differently next time I make these, is pound the chicken out flat to about 1/4″, cut into squares, put the blue cheese in the middle, and fold into a little packet. Then wrap the bacon around it. I found that about 1/2 of my chicken bites lost their blue cheese (it escaped from the bacon). And I would season the chicken with a little salt and pepper. Otherwise, it made it to the “Mikie Likes It” list and they all disappeared within 5 minutes!
