Sweet and Spicy Bacon Chicken

Taken from Diary of a Recipe Addict

This has become one of our favorites.  I have only ever grilled it so I don't know how the bacon would turn out if baked in the oven.

4 chicken breasts cut in thirds (12 pieces)

Bacon slices

salt and pepper to taste

garlic powder

chili powder

brown sugar

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 an oven proof dish....make sure you have some olive oil in the dish too, like 2 or 3 tablespoons is fine {I skipped this since I grilled them.  I honestly think you could coat your dish with nonstick cooking spray instead to save a few calories}.  

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is nice and brown and crispy.  Delicious served with mashed potatoes with some of the gravy from the chicken drizzled on top.

Snickerdoodles..BEST ONES!

Taken from Get Together Ideas

1 stick butter-softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. cream of tarter

FOR ROLLING
2 TBS. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars with an electric mixer on high speed.  Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.

In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tarter.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well.

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees while you let the dough rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

In a small bowl, combine the sugar with the cinnamon for the topping.

Take about 2 1/2 TBS. of dough and roll it into a ball.  Roll this dough int the cinnamon/sugar mixture and press it onto a ungreased cookie sheet.  Repeat for the remaining cookies.

Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes and no more.  The cookies may seem undercooked, but will continue to develop after they are removed from the oven.  When the cookies have cooled they should be soft and chewy in the middle.  

Makes 16-18 cookies.
