Ingredients

1 Pound chicken breast tenderloins cut into bite-sized pieces
10 strips bacon cut into thirds
1 Tablespoon Cajun seasoning
⅓ cup brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Generously season the chicken pieces on all sides with Cajun seasoning.
Wrap each seasoned chicken piece securely with a slice of bacon (use half slices for smaller bites if desired).
Arrange the bacon-wrapped chicken on the prepared baking sheet, placing them seam-side down to keep the bacon in place.
Sprinkle a generous layer of brown sugar evenly over the top of each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F), the bacon is crispy, and the brown sugar has caramelized.
Remove from the oven, insert a toothpick into each piece for easy serving, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
