Jalepeno Popper Chicken

Print Recipe
Serves: 4 Cooking Time: 45 min

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken breasts
  • 3 Jalepenos- chopped
  • Shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 8 oz Cream cheese
  • Salt/pepper
  • Turkey bacon

Instructions

1

Start by heating your oven to 300 degrees and then get to chopping the jalapenos. If you like hot spicy heat – leave the seeds. If you want a mild heat, remove the seeds.

2

Then move on to pounding out the chicken breasts until they are quite thin. You want them to double in size. Cover the chicken in plastic wrap, and place on a strong surface and use a meat mallet or a cast iron pan to pound them out.

3

Next, place a long thin chunk of cream cheese in the center.

4

Add jalapeno and cheddar cheese on top, and then wrap the chicken around it.

5

Use 2 slices of bacon to wrap around each chicken breast sealing it shut. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

6

Place the bacon wrapped chicken breasts in a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

7

After 45 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven, and drain any bacon fat off the pan.

8

Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees, letting the bacon crisp up for another 10 minutes or as long as necessary.
