Just the facts:
•All chickens are raised on family farms with very strict USDA Process Verified programs, which ensures that the chickens are fed all-vegetarian diets with no animal by-products, raised cage-free, and are never given any antibiotics, ever.
•Raised to the same standards as their chicken, HARVESTLAND® turkeys are fed an all-vegetarian diet with no antibiotics, steroids or hormones.
•Pork is the latest addition to the HARVESTLAND® brand. Their hogs are raised on family farms in the Midwest and are also fed an all-vegetarian diet with no antibiotics, hormones or steroids.*
•Harvestland also offers USDA-certified organic chicken. These chickens are raised without antibiotics on free-range, organic farms and are fed an all-vegetarian diet of certified organic ingredients.
•The HARVESTLAND® product line includes fresh chicken, turkey, and pork products, as well as a variety of fully-cooked refrigerated, frozen, and deli meats. Prices vary based on the retailer.
I had never used Harvestland products before so I wasn't sure how easily I'd be able to find them. I was pleasantly surprised to find them at Walmart, Giant and my local non-chain grocery store, although I could only find some of the chicken products & ground turkey. I hadn't seen any pork products or their fully cooked deli meats. We tried out their chicken thighs, boneless skinless chicken breasts & tenderloins. I have to say we could tell a difference between this chicken and the typical variety we purchase. We thought that this chicken was more tender & had a lot more moisture once it was done cooking.
It was dark when I was grilling hence the dark photo.
We used the chicken to make bbq chicken on the grill using my favorite powdered bbq seasoning. Chicken thighs & legs can take awhile to cook on the grill thus resulting in dried out chicken. My secret to getting juicy, flavorful bbq chicken is to cook it in the oven first, covered with foil. Then place out on the grill to crisp up the skin while adding the bbq seasoning to it. It literally falls off the bone and tastes SO good!

I used the chicken tenderloins for 2 other recipes. I marinated and chunked up some to grill on skewers that I then turned into grilled chicken salad with homemade ranch dressing. This is one of my kids favorite suppers. They also like it served with homemade honey mustard dressing.

And now for the new recipe I made. . .
Sweet & Spicy Bacon Chicken Wraps!
Lay cooling racks on a cookie sheet that has an edge on it. (This allows for air to get the whole way around the bacon so you don't end up with soggy bacon after it's baked.) Wrap a piece of bacon around each tenderloin.
In a bowl, mix together 2/3 cup of brown sugar with 2 Tbsp of chili powder. Take each bacon wrapped tenderloin and roll around in the mix until well coated. For some of our bacon wrapped tenderloins, I put bbq sauce on instead of the mix.
Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes or until cooked & bacon crispy.
We devoured this chicken so fast I almost forgot to take a photo of the finished product before it was almost gone! We couldn't decide which seasoning we like better with the bacon wrapped tenderloin as both ways were awesome! You can find the printable recipe here.
