These never last a minute out of the oven, they’re devoured and I don’t get a crumb.

Here’s a quick look at the ingredients (in a table) and simple instructions to prepare these delicious low-carb treats:

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Make the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.

3. Season the Chicken: Drizzle the chicken tenders with olive oil and then sprinkle the spice mixture over them, making sure they’re evenly coated.

4. Wrap with Bacon: Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each chicken tender. You can use toothpicks to secure the ends of the bacon if needed.

5. Bake the Chicken: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.

6. Rest and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken tenders rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more flavorful bite.

Tips:

• You can use chicken breasts cut into strips instead of tenders. Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the chicken pieces.
• For an extra flavor kick, brush the bacon-wrapped tenders with a low-carb BBQ sauce before baking.
• If you don’t have toothpicks, you can use rosemary sprigs to secure the bacon instead.
