This dish made by a Utica College student, Alliyah McClellan, has bacon wrapped baked chicken, smothered with honey barbeque sauce. The side of cheddar & bacon mashed potatoes adds even more bacon flavor to the plate and the more bacon, the merrier. With simple ingredients and a reasonable cooking time of about 2 hours (at most), this dish is very simple to make and comes out tasting great. Though it was her first time making this dish, Alliyah mixed the perfect amount of seasonings together to make a delicious dish.

The ingredients she used a very simple and are as follows:

Purdue chicken breast (using chicken breast makes it easier to wrap the bacon)

Idahoan Applewood Smoked Bacon Flavored Mashed Potatoes (available in any supermarket)

Larry’s Seasoning Salt

Goya Adobe

Oscar Mayer Naturally Hardwood Smoked bacon

Honey barbeque sauce (or any bbq sauce of your preference)

How to make bacon wrapped chicken:

Preheat your oven to 400

Cook the bacon about mid-way, on the stove top

While chicken is baking, take the half-cooked bacon and wrap it around the chicken and let it bake together until both are fully cooked

This dish is simple and fun to make, so why not give it a try at home.
