These are eaten and I get a crumb; they never survive a minute out of the oven.

With a soft, supple bite, bacon wrapped chicken tenders are a wonderful mix of savory and smokey tastes. Originally a common appetiser in North American cuisine, these tenders are ideal for individuals on a low carb diet but they do not sacrifice flavor. Perfect for game days, family get-togethers, or simply a little supper at home, this meal will quickly become a mainstay in your cooking.

 

These bacon-wrapped chicken tenders go especially well with roasted vegetables like Brussels sprouts or asparagus or a crisp, garden salad topped with a light vinaigrette. Think about adding a creamy avocado dip or mashed cauliflower side dish for a whole dinner. Don’t overlook serving with a slice of lemon and a cool iced tea or clear sparkling water.
