Chicken and Bacon BBQ 3000 Poppers / Penzeys image

This is from Penzeys catalog... I haven't tried it yet, but what could possibly go wrong with bacon + Penzeys? Admittedly it calls for one of their seasonings and yes, it would be best to use it, but you could substitute your favorite smokey BBQ seasoning. Theirs is a blend of salt, paprika, black pepper, nutmeg, mustard, allspice, citric acid, garlic powder, ginger, sage, thyme, white pepper, cinnamon, and natural smoke flavor. Recipe courtesy of Penzeys reader, Carol Smith-Barnes.

Yield 45 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 lb sliced bacon
2 tablespoons bbq seasoning (Penzeys BBQ 3000)
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray cooking spray on a flat, non-stick roasting rack and place that on a roasting or broiling pan lined with aluminum foil. Set aside.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
  • Cut each bacon slice into thirds. It's easier to do when you leave the pound of bacon intact rather than separating the slices.
  • Wrap a piece of bacon around each chicken cube and secure with a wooden toothpick.
  • Combine the BBQ seasoning with the brown sugar.
  • Drop each meat skewer into the mixture and toss gently with your fingers until completely coated.
  • Arrange the poppers on the rack and bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the topping browned.
  • NOMS!
