My hubby found this in a copy of Southern Living at work. These are super easy and great tasting little appetizers. If you want, you can use reduced-sodium bacon and lite soy sauce to cut back on the sodium. I don't think they need any dipping sauce as the marinade provides a tangy/sour/sweet flavor. Cooking time includes marinade time.
Ingredients:
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 bacon, slices cut into thirds
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
vegetable oil cooking spray
wooden toothpick
Directions:
1. Cut chicken breasts into 24 1-inch cubes.
2. Wrap each chicken cube with bacon and secure with a wooden toothpick.
3. Stir together orange marmalade, soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger and minced garlic in a shallow dish or large zip-top freezer bag; add chicken nuggets.
4. Cover or seal, and chill 2 hours, turning occasionally.
5. Coat a rack and broiler pan with cooking spray.
6. Place chicken nuggets on rack in broiler pan.
7. Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes; turn nuggets and bake 10 more minutes.
