Bacon and Maple Chicken Nibbles

Last weekend I was thinking of what to serve my daughter for dinner, as usual like my other weekends it was a time to unleash those creative juices and create something out of what I can find in the pantry. Usually when I do some impromptu cooking it will be stir fried as that’s the easiest one and sometimes pasta but this time will be different.

Three months ago I received from a friend a 2 bottles of a good quality maple syrup from Canada and since then I guess I only used up only 20 ml of it so why not use this in a savoury dish. Since maple also is good with bacon why not mix it together and use it as a flavour for some chicken nibbles that we have on the freezer.  My daughter love all of those so I guess this will be a perfect meal fof her and as a matter of fact it is.
