Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized chicken breasts about 4 ounces each
- 8 strips bacon
- 3 jalapeno peppers seeds and veins removed
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- Slice the chicken lengthwise down the middle without piercing all the way through, to form a pocket.
- Remove the seeds and veins (if less heat is desired) from the jalapenos and dice them.
- Mix together the diced jalapeno, cream cheese, cheddar, garlic salt and pepper.
- Stuff the mixture evenly into each chicken breast.
- Wrap each chicken breast with 2 strips of bacon, in a tight spiral pattern, making sure not to overlap the bacon.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chicken breast for about 5 minutes on each side, to brown the bacon.
- Gently place the chicken in a 9” x 13” baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove when the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165° F.
Notes
- If you want the jalapenos to have less heat, remove all the seeds and white ribs from the inside of the pepper.
