Keto Bacon Brown Sugar Chicken Bites

Sweet and savory with a dash of heat, is one way to describe these Keto Bacon Brown Sugar Chicken Bites, but the more likely way is to let out a hoop or holler (maybe even both) of jubilation and not describe them at all, but instead load more onto your plate.

I swear, these are GOOD.

The brown sugar in this recipe is Swerve, which is an erythritol based sweetener that has become my go-to for adding sweetness to recipes. I was so excited the first time I came across a bag of their brown “sugar”, and recipes like this one are what make keto so easy for me. I don’t have to sacrifice a single thing, just some substitutes here and there and just about any recipe can be made keto.

These bites are definitely low carb, but the fat is a little low and the protein a little high for some keto dieters. But that’s okay, just work them into your day as a boost of protein or on the side with a larger/higher fat meal. There’s no wrong way to eat them, unless you eat the whole skillet full by yourself, and even then if eating a double digit amount of bacon brown sugar chicken bites is wrong… I don’t want to be right.
