Instructions 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Top each chicken tender with a spear of fresh pineapple and a thin slice of jalapeño. Wrap a bacon slice around each bundle and place on a lined baking sheet.
• Brush each piece of chicken with a small amount of Szechuan sauce. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked all the way through. Cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken tenders.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Mix the yogurt, 2 tablespoons Szechuan sauce, and salt in a small bowl. Serve the chicken tenders hot from the oven with the dipping sauce.
