Jalapeño Popper Chicken: Spicy, Cheesy, and Wrapped in Bacon

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). Flatten chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap using a meat mallet until about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 2: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, pepper jack, and garlic powder until well combined.

Step 3: Spread cheese mixture in the center of each chicken breast. Top with jalapeño slices, then roll tightly.

Step 4: Wrap each chicken roll with 2 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks or butcher’s twine.

Step 5: Grill or bake chicken for 25–30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. Brush with BBQ sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Step 6: Let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Remove toothpicks and serve hot.

Storage Information:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F to keep bacon crispy. Not recommended for freezing after baking.
