Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups ketchup
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
8 boneless, skinless chicken tenders
8 sticks mozzarella cheese
8 slices bacon
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the marinade: In a medium dish or bowl, combine the ketchup, tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, mustard, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Set aside ½ cup (130 g) of the mixture for the glaze and another ½ cup (130 g) for the dip.
  • Butterfly the chicken tenders. Place a large sheet of plastic wrap over them and gently use a meat mallet or rolling pin to flatten the chicken to about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thickness.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and place the chicken tenders in a the remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Remove chicken from the refrigerator. Wrap a chicken tender around a mozzarella cheese stick. Take a strip of bacon and spiral it around the tender. Repeat with remaining chicken tenders.
  • Place the chicken tenders on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until slightly crispy. Flip tenders halfway through.
  • Remove the tenders from the oven and generously brush with reserved glazed. Bake for another 10 minutes or until completely crisp.
  • Remove from the oven, top with chopped parsley, and serve with reserved dip
  • Enjoy!
