Hot Bacon Canapés

Cook chicken in boiling water and salt, about 30 minutes, until tender. Cut chicken into pieces a little bigger than olives (you should have around 40 pieces). Cook bacon in frying pan until almost done. If cooked too long the bacon strips will break when rolled. Drain bacon on paper towel. Hold olice and chicken piece together. Wrap with bacon and skewer together with wooden toothpick. Chill. When ready to serve, heat in 400º F oven for about 10 minutes until hot.

Helpful Hints

For Bacon Wiener Bobs use wiener pieces instead of chicken. Omit olive. For Fruity Chicken Canapés use pineapple chunks instead of olives. Serve with Sweet and Sour Sauce. You may substitute water chestnuts for the olives in this Hot Bacon Canapé recipe. If you choose to use the water chestnuts, dip the Hot Bacon Canapé in seafood sauce.
