Chicken Bacon Poppers

Seasoning:
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp sage
1/2 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp mustard
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar

Poppers:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 lb sliced bacon (thick works better)


Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with tinfoil and place a baking rack on top of that. The tinfoil will catch the drippings and make your clean up easy.

Mix the ingredients for the seasoning in a tupperware container with a lid. Shake until well mixed.

I cooked my chicken first by boiling it, letting it cool then cut the breasts up to into 1 inch cubes. Leave the bacon in the slab that it comes in out of the package and slice it into 3rds so that you end up with about 3-4 inch long strips. Roll each cube of chicken in a slice of bacon and stick a toothpick through it to hold the bacon in place around the chicken. Dip each popper into the seasoning mixture, lightly covering the entire piece. Place the season dipped poppers on the baking rack and sprinkle any remaining seasoning mix over the top of them. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the seasoning mix is browned. You can microwave the poppers after they come out of the oven if you desire crispier bacon, too.

You should end up with 36-48 pieces.
