Paula Deen's Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps

I've been a vegetarian for four years now and this recipe even looked appetizing to me! My roommate Jenelle and I made Paula Deen's Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps for some guests that we had over for a little couple's dinner party. These wraps were an easy, fun (and not that expensive!) appetizer that were a perfect preamble to the penne alla vodka that we served for the main course. 

They'll definitely be on the menu for our Christmas party!
