Baylee's 18th Birthday

 

Monday, was my son’s 18th birthday.  18!  I have been a mom for 18 years?  How is that possible?  We had a surprise birthday party for him on Saturday evening and the theme of the party was BACON!  All food had bacon in it except for the peanut butter cup cake.  We had about 25 people in our house to feed, so I was super glad that we (my girls and I) had made a large variety of bacon-y foods.  We had bought 12 pounds of bacon to use, just in case.  We ended up using about 9 pounds…so we did go through quite a bit of it, but not all on this one dish.

 

One of the favorite dishes of the day was the Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites.  OK, maybe that was MY personal favorite.  There were lots of favorites and I’ll be sharing them with you through the week.  But first, let me share with you all about the bacon wrapped chicken bites.  They were the perfect mixture of flavors.  I love bacon and I love chicken.  Combine the two and wow, I love that flavor!

Ingredients:

 

Bacon
Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
Brown Sugar

Bake on Cookie Sheet with cooling rack on it or a broiler pan.

 

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line Broiler Pan or Cookie Sheet with foil to avoid a horrible burned on mess from the brown sugar.
  3. Cut chicken into 2-3″ pieces.  Bacon Chicken Bites
  4. Slice bacon into the size of piece that will wrap around the chicken, usually in half.
  5. Wrap bacon around chicken pieces.  (No need to use a toothpick, it will stick to the chicken).Bacon Chicken Bites 2
  6. Roll in brown sugar.
  7. Place on roaster pan or cooling rack which is on top of a cookie sheet.
  8. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, turning once at 15 minutes.  Bacon should be crispy on all sides, but not burned.

 

Now, I know you’re wondering exactly how much you should use.  We were making A LOT, so what we used will differ from what you will need.  We used 5 pounds of chicken and 2.5 pounds of bacon to complete these.  If you’re not wanting to make a large bowl, as pictured above, then you could get away with a much smaller amount.  That 7.5 pounds of meat served 25 people.  Yes, it was all gone, but that’s OK.  I’m pretty sure everyone got to try it!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
