Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Breast of Chicken

 

ingredients

• 4 (6 ounce) chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded thin

• salt and pepper to taste

• 2 tablespoons roasted jalapenos (or fresh, or pickled), diced fine

• 1/4 cup cream cheese

• 1/4 cup monterey jack or cheddar cheese, shredded

• 8 slices bacon

 

directions

 

• Lay the chicken flat, season the outside with salt and pepper, spread 1/4 of the mixture of the jalapenos and the cheeses on the chicken breasts, roll them up and wrap each in 2 slices of bacon

• Grill over indirect medium heat, with the lid down, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked (160F to 165F), about 20-30 minutes, or bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven on a wire rack on a baking pan until cooked, about 20-30 minutes, turning the oven to broil for the last few minutes to ensure that the bacon is crispy.
