Instructions
Prep
Pat 360g chicken breast cubes dry. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Wrap each cube tightly in a half-slice of turkey bacon, tucking ends under or securing with a toothpick. Arrange on a parchment-lined, oil-brushed baking tray (roughly 12 pieces total).
Bake
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake wrapped bites for 18 minutes until chicken reaches 74°C (165°F) internal temperature, checking with a meat thermometer.
Glaze
While bites bake, whisk maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of smoked paprika into a glossy glaze. Remove bites from oven, brush glaze generously over all pieces, return to oven for 4–6 minutes until bacon crisps and glaze turns sticky.
Rest
Cool bites fully on the tray for 10 minutes until the glaze sets and bacon firms.
Plate
Portion 6 bites into each of 2 airtight containers. Serve warm or chilled, optionally paired with baby carrots, celery sticks, or yogurt dip for crunch.
