Munch on these tasty bacon wrapped chicken bites for lunch or serve them as a low-carb appetizer. Either way, they are SO tasty!
What Are Chicken Bites
Chicken bites are a delicious snack or lunch or appetizer. Juicy chicken breasts are flavored with cajun seasoning and Swerve brown sugar substitute.
This gives the chicken a spicy and sweet flavor that you can’t get enough of. Then, the chicken is wrapped in bacon.
With just four ingredients, these are the easiest appetizers or snacks that you can make! These sweet and spicy chicken bites are so addicting that it’s tough to stop at just one.
Shopping List
Before you make low-carb bacon wrapped chicken bites, this is what you’ll need from the store. All of the exact ingredient amounts are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Chicken Breast Tenderloins
- Bacon
- Cajun Seasoning
- Swerve Brown Sugar Substitutes
Best Type Of Bacon To Use
To make these bacon wrapped chicken bites, I suggest using thin-sliced bacon. Since this is a keto-friendly recipe, make sure that you use bacon that doesn’t have any added sugar.
That means no maple-cured bacon. You can use turkey bacon if you want but you might have to adjust the cooking time since turkey bacon cooks quicker.
Don’t use thick-cut bacon because it will take too long to cook and produce too much grease.
Chicken Safe Internal Cooking Temperature
You should always use an instant read food thermometer when you cook chicken. Chicken needs to be cooked until the middle of the meat reaches at least 165F.
Check the temperature of the chicken bites before you serve them.
Keto Appetizers
These bacon wrapped chicken bites are the perfect appetizers, especially when you add a toothpick into each one. Guests can just pick up the bites and even dip them into their favorite dips.
When you serve them to your guests, serve more keto appetizers with them. For something sweet, a plate of keto chocolate zucchini cookies is always a hit!
Keep the savory flavors going and add some low-carb honey garlic shrimp skewers to the table. They are easy to pick up and eat.
And everyone loves single-serving keto carrot mug cakes. Not only do they taste delicious but they are the perfect size too.
Storage
This is the perfect way to cook chicken for meal prep or to eat it in leftovers throughout the week. You can save both the chicken bites and the bacon.
How To Meal Prep
To meal prep with your chicken bites, follow the directions in the recipe card and then let it cool to room temperature. Store them in an airtight food storage container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
How To Freeze
These chicken bites freeze really well! Store them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to six months.
