Bacon Wrapped Chicken Skewers – An Easy Low-Carb Recipe

Bacon Wrapped Chicken Skewers have become my new favorite low-carb, Keto friendly recipe. Chunks of seasoned chicken breasts wrapped in bacon and baked to perfection in the oven.

Not only can you serve it along with a salad or cauliflower rice for a complete dinner, you can also serve it as a tasty appetizer.

And best of all, both adults and kids love this recipe! In fact, sometimes I take it one step further and serve it with Honey Mustard sauce or a Sweet Sriracha sauce for dipping.

Not only does it make for a great lunchbox idea, it is also a delicious after school snack recipe as well. And as an added bonus, they are easy and fun to make!

Bacon Wrapped Chicken Skewers

INGREDIENTS

• Chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
• Olive oil
• Kosher salt
• Black ground pepper
• Creole seasoning – or substitute your preferred seasoning of choice.
• Bacon slices

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

• Rimmed Baking Sheet
• Wire Baking Rack
• Metal or Wood Skewers

INSTRUCTIONS

The first step in making bacon wrapped chicken skewers is to preheat the oven. Then line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Set a wire cooking rack on top of the foil lined baking sheet and spray with non-stick spray and set aside.

Then, if you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water. However, if you are use metal skewers spray them with non-stick cooking spray and set them aside.

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-2 inch pieces, removing and discarding any fat. Then place the chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag.

Next, drizzle the olive oil on top of the chicken and then add the salt, pepper and Creole seasoning to the bag. Seal the bag and shake to coat all sides of the chicken pieces.

While the chicken is resting, cut the bacon in half across the center. Then working with one piece of bacon at a time, place a piece of chicken on one edge of the bacon and roll it up.

Set the bacon wrapped chicken aside and repeat the process until all the chicken is rolled up in bacon.

Place Them On The Skewers

Now it is time to place the chicken on the skewers. Pick up a rolled up piece of chicken and find the end of the bacon.

Right below where the bacon ends, pierce it with skewer and push it through the chicken so that it goes out the other side.

Repeat the process and place 5 – 6 pieces of the bacon wrapped chicken onto each skewer. Arrange skewers on top of the wire rack in the prepared baking sheet.

Place the pan in a preheated oven and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is slightly crispy.

Remove the pan from oven and let stand 5 minutes. Serve warm as a main dish or low-carb appetizer.

Optional Dipping Sauce

If you are serving the bacon wrapped chicken skewers as an appetizer, I would highly suggest that you provide a dipping sauce for your guests.

You could serve them with bottled or Homemade Ranch dressing. However I prefer these two, easy to make dipping sauces.

1. Honey Mustard Dip

• 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard
• 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
• 1/4 cup Honey
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice
• Salt & Pepper, to taste

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl until well incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to be served.

This dip can be made up to 2 days in advance. It is also great to serve with Soft Pretzel Bites or Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets.

2. Sweet Sriracha Sauce

• 2 tbsp. soy sauce, low-sodium
• 2 tbsp. water
• 1 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 tsp. Sriracha sauce
• 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tbsp. fresh ginger
• 1/4 cup ketchup

In a small saucepan add all the ingredients and stir. Heat on medium-high until the sauce begins to simmer. Let the sauce reduce slightly to thicken.

Serve warm with the bacon wrapped chicken skewers. Or instead of serving it as a dipping sauce, brush the bacon wrapped chicken with the sauce during the last 5 minutes of baking.

Enjoy! Mary
