Keto Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders Recipe

Today I'm sharing Keto Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders, my first attempt at a kid-friendly keto recipe.

Week 4 was the beginning of something new for me. While I have been eating low-carb, gluten free, and sugar-free for a while, my family hasn't yet joined me on the journey.

That all changed last week. This left me scratching my head and considering how to make this new lifestyle appealing to my entire family.

I knew my biggest critic would be my husband. My husband consumes large amounts of sugar daily and loves to eat whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

He's also quite the skeptic about, well pretty much everything. My girls are 5 & 7, and they were thrilled. They couldn't wait to try new recipes and have "funner" lunch boxes.

As for the boys, well, they weren't sure what to expect. They were 12 & 10, and they didn't care as long as the food was good and they didn't have to go hungry. So that's what I was working with.

Keto Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders:

With that in mind, I decided to try to take family favorites and turn them into keto favorites, and that's why my first recipe was Keto Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders. I can't even fathom how many pounds of chicken tenders these kids have eaten over the past 12 years, but I knew this would be a good place to start.

The kids love my Filet Mignon with Dijon Sauce (also low-carb and keto-friendly), so I decided to use that for the chicken tenders instead of offering ranch dressing.
