If you want to push the boat out cubes of beef fillet would be good too wrapped in bacon, as would roasted new potatoes, and for anyone who loves seafood, scallops and prawns work well too.

500 g chicken breasts (cut into 2 cm cubes)
5 rashers streaky bacon
cocktail sticks

Stretch the bacon using a large knife then cut the slice in half about 10cm x 3cm lengths. Wrap a piece of bacon around a cube of chicken and thread onto a cocktail stick. Repeat with the remaining bacon and chicken.
