Chicken bites wrapped in bacon get an added kick from Montreal steak seasoning and sweetness from barbecue sauce. We love the mix of textures.

Takes: 25 min. • Makes: 11/2 dozen
6 bacon strips
3/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-in. cubes (about 18)
3 tsp. Montreal steak seasoning
1 tsp. prepared horseradish, optional
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Cut the bacon crosswise into thirds. Place bacon on a microwave-safe plate lined with paper towels. Cover the bacon with additional paper towels; microwave on high until partially cooked but not crisp, 3-4 minutes.
2. Place chicken in a small bowl; sprinkle with steak seasoning and toss to coat. Wrap a bacon piece around each chicken cube; secure with a toothpick. Place chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Bake 10 minutes. If desired, add horseradish to barbecue sauce; brush over wrapped chicken. Bake until chicken is no longer pink and bacon is crisp, 5-10 minutes.
