Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken tenders (about 8 tenders)
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions:

- Wrap in Bacon: Wrap each chicken tender with a slice of bacon, starting at one end and overlapping slightly as you go. Secure the bacon with toothpicks if needed.
