I love bacon jalapeño poppers and by adding the same ingredients to chicken breasts...you can have a whole meal with that jalapeño popper flavor. For less fat use low fat cheeses and center cut bacon. Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
8 slices bacon |
4 tablespoons cream cheese |
1/2 cup shredded monterey jack pepper cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, jack or blue cheese also work well) |
2 diced jalapenos |
chili powder |
garlic salt |
black pepper |
8 toothpicks |
Directions:
1. pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. grease baking dish.
3. cut a pouch in each chicken breast fillet, careful not to poke through
4. spread 1 Tbsp cream cheese in each pouch.
5. add 1/4 shredded cheese in each pouch.
6. add diced jalapeños to each pouch (more or less than 1/2 a jalapeño per chicken breast depending on your spice level preference)
7. sprinkle garlic salt, chili powder and pepper on top of fillets to taste.
8. wrap 2 pieces of bacon around each fillet
9. secure each bacon piece with 1 toothpick near the opening of the pouch to keep fillet together.
10. place in oven
11. bake for 30 minutes.
