Description

Ingredients

• 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 4 ounces of Cream Cheese, cut into bit chunks (not whipped)
• 8 Jalapenos
• 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 8 slices of Bacon

Directions

• 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.
• 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.
• Next, place a long thin chunk of cream cheese in the center.
• Add jalapeno and cheddar cheese on top, and then wrap the chicken around it.
• Use 2 slices of bacon to wrap around each chicken breast sealing it shut.
• Place the bacon wrapped chicken breasts in a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
• After 45 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven, and drain any bacon fat off the pan.
• Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees, letting the bacon crisp up for another 10 minutes or as long as necessary.
