HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN AND BACON BITES

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts-or fillets, as we call them here-in thin strips. Not too thin, the bacon has to brown and if the chicken is too thin it'll get dry before the bacon gets crispy.
• Grab a bowl and combine 3 tbsp honey with 2 tsp coarse mustard.
• Squeeze in some lemon juice. Not too much, about a tbsp or so. I think orange juice will be great, too.
• wrap the bacon around the chicken strips.
• Place them in a roasting tray or on a cookie sheet. If you're afraid of cleaning up, line the tray or sheet with some tin-foil first.
• Brush the chicken bites with half the marinade.
• Bake them in a preheated oven at 425F (225C) for 10 to 13 minutes. Until the bacon is crispy.
• As soon as one side is done, take the tray out of the oven.
• Flip them over and brush them with the remaining marinade.
• Put them back in the oven for another 10 to 13 minutes, until the other side is crispy as well. Keep an eye on them.
