Grilled Bacon Wrapped Chicken
It is the first Football Funday Sunday and I grilled the best dinner for the celebration. The other day I was at work trying to figure out what I wanted to cook for dinner that night. I didn’t want to make anything that was too time consuming or spend a lot of money on the ingredients. When I can’t figure out what I want to cook, I usually browse the protein aisle until something pops out at me. I saw that bacon was on sale, and then I looked over and the chicken was too. Bacon wrapped chicken; done.
