KETO Friendly Bacon & Brown Sugar Wrapped Chicken Tenders

Bacon wrapped chicken tenders
with ranch dressing dip.

Ingredients:
2 boneless & skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
3/4 cup Lakanto golden monkfruit sweetener
1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 
10 slices (or more) natural bacon without nitrates or nitrites
ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing and/or hot sauce**

Pink Himalayan Salt and Sea Salt

Method:
Preheat oven to 400*. Line a baking pan with foil. Place a rack in the foil lined pan and spray lightly with oil. Cut each chicken breast into 5 or 6 long, thin strips. Pour the monkfruit into a small bowl. Add the spices and stir to mix. Coat the chicken strips, one at a time, in the "sugar" mixture.

Wrap the coated chicken strips in slices of bacon to cover completely. Place the bacon wrapped strips on the prepared rack. Sprinkle with any sugar mixture that remains in the bowl. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked and crisp.

Notes: Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing is my favorite, but Ranch Dressing and Hot Sauce are great dipping options, too! (Adding a dressing for dipping adds additional fats to this dish.)
