Sweet and Spicy Bacon Chicken

This chicken dish is a new family favorite in our house. It's very similar to Paula Deen's appetizer recipe, but this one is a main dish with different seasoning. It's very flavorful with just a tiny hint of heat. You could easily double this and bake it in a 9x13 pan.

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thirds (9 pieces)
Zatarain's Creole Seasoning
5 slices of bacon, cut in half (you'll have an extra half so wrap two around one of the larger pieces of chicken)
Approx. 3/4 cup brown sugar
Olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 8x8 baking dish with a small amount of olive oil. Season chicken with Zatarain's Creole Seasoning. Wrap a half slice of bacon around each piece of chicken. Place brown sugar in a small bowl. Roll chicken wrapped bacon pieces in brown sugar and place into baking dish in a single layer (three rows of three). Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is nice and brown.
