Bacon Wrapped Chicken Nuggets with Smoky Onion Dip & Mango Mustard

image

This recipe is sure to please! It is less than 300 calories per serving low carb, high protein, gluten free, & it includes bacon!! It’s also simple & quick. Great for a snack, lunch, dinner, & even makes a delicious party appetizer 😉

Ingredients for Bacon Chicken Nuggets:

*1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 24 small & equal sized chunks

*12 slices center cut bacon (it’s leaner than regular bacon but you could also use turkey bacon if you want)

* Salt free seasonings (I used Perfect Pinch salt free garlic & herb plus Mrs. Dash grilling blend for chicken. You want to use salt free because the bacon is salty & you don’t want to over salt)

Ingredients for Smoky Onion Dip

*1 container fat free plain Greek yogurt

*1 package onion soup & dip mix

*1/2 of a small sweet onion (cooked until translucent in frying pan using non stick cooking spray)

*1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke

Ingredients for Mango Mustard:

*1/2 cup chopped fresh mango

*1/2 cup spicy brown mustard

Preheat oven to 350.

Generously season both sides of all chicken pieces with seasoning. Wrap 1/2 slice of bacon around each piece of chicken & secure with toothpick. Place chicken on foil lined tray & bake for 35 minutes or until chicken is cooked & bacon is crunchy. (You could also cook these on the grill if you want to)

While chicken is cooking make one or both dipping sauces. To make them you simply combine all ingredients & process in blender. Place back in fridge to firm up a little as chicken finishes cooking. Serve as a dip for your chicken.
(Not the prettiest picture but I promise it tastes awesome!)

To make a meal add a nice salad or other vegetable on the side.

    This is a yummy recipe. The mango mustard is so good, you can put it on your salad or dip veggies in it too. (Or chips, but trying to stay healthy!) Thanks for the great ideas and easy to prepare for mid week. My kids actually liked this one too!
