Bacon-wrapped Coca-Cola Chicken Breasts

Bacon-wrapped Coca-Cola Chicken Breasts
I made this for dinner the other night, and my husband went back for thirds! You have to marinate it overnight, but it is otherwise a fairly simple meal to make. I also don't own a smoker, but it came out fine after baking in the oven at 325 degrees.

The ingredient swaps:
  • Instead of 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts, I used 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut each in half.
  • Instead of 1 12-ounce can Coca-Cola, I used 1 12-ounce can of Diet Coke.
  • Instead of 8 thin slices smoked bacon, I used 12 thin slices of turkey bacon (since I had 6 pieces of chicken now).
  • I couldn't find Jack's Old South Huney Muney Cluck Rub, so I used McCormick Grill Mates Applewood Rub. I only used what it took to cover all six pieces of chicken, which was maybe 1/4 cup, not 2 cups.
If you are following Weight Watchers, each piece of chicken is 5Points Plus.
