Brown Sugar Bacon Wrapped Chicken

My sister in law was the first to PIN this recipe and treated my family to it at a barbeque a month or so ago.  I have since made it for my family a handful of times and even made it for family I was visiting a few weeks ago.  It has quickly become my hubby's favorite chicken recipe.  His mouth waters for it once I tell him it is on the dinner menu and my daughter LOVES it because it is wrapped in bacon. She believes that anything is better with bacon and she is only 7. 

Be sure to give this recipe a try - I am sure you will not be disappointed. 

 INGREDIENTS

4 chicken breasts cut in thirds (12 pieces)

Bacon slices

salt and pepper to taste

garlic powder

chili powder

brown sugar

DIRECTIONS

Cut each breast into 3 pieces, season all the chicken with the spices, then wrap a bacon slice around each piece, roll in brown sugar and place into a deep sided dish if grilling or a greased cookie sheet. 

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is nice and brown and crispy.  Or Grill on a medium high heat until chicken is cook through.  ENJOY!

Chocolate Chip Muffin Bites

I am addicted to pinning recipes on Pintrest.  I'm sure I will never make most of the pinned recipes, but there are a select few that I just cannot resist trying.  I found this PIN yesterday and made these Chocolate Chip Muffing Bites this morning with the kiddos.  The kids LOVED them and they have put my chocolate cravings to rest for the day.   And the best part about these little bites . . .ONLY 3 ingredients.  Now, when you see the ingredient list, don't be scared.  The words "sugar free" and "canned pumpkin" are not what you expect when having a chocolaty treat, but trust me . . . they are YUMMY!!! 

INGREDIENTS

1 boxed sugar free chocolate cake mix

1 15 oz can of pumpkin puree

1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips + some extra regular size morsels for the top

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix together cake mix and canned pumpkin with hand mixer. Mix for about 2 minutes to allow for a more fluffy muffin.  Fold in the chocolate chips.   Line mini muffin pan with liners and fill with batter almost to the top.  This batter is dense and does not rise much so they can be filled to the top.  Add a 3-4 chips to the top.

Bake for 10-11 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean!
