Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup

  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 lb thick-cut turkey bacon (or plant-based alternative)

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken into slider-sized pieces and marinate in a mix of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook marinated chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat until internal temperature reaches 165°F (about 4-5 minutes per side).

  4. Cook turkey bacon until crispy; crumble or cut into pieces.
