Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 pieces Jalapeños
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Bacon strips
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Step 2
Place the jalapeños on the lined baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skins are slightly charred.
Step 3
Remove the jalapeños from the oven and let them cool. Once cooled, remove the stems, seeds, and skins, then finely chop them.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, roasted jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and set aside.
Step 5
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to slice all the way through.
Step 6
Spoon the cheese and jalapeño mixture evenly into the pockets of the chicken breasts, pressing gently to close them. You may use toothpicks to secure the openings if necessary.
Step 7
Wrap two strips of bacon tightly around each stuffed chicken breast, covering as much of the surface as possible. Tuck the ends of the bacon under the chicken or secure with toothpicks.
Step 8
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on the baking sheet, seam-side down, and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. An instant-read thermometer should read 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.
Step 9
For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 10
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove any toothpicks, if used.
Step 11
Serve the roasted jalapeno cheese stuffed bacon wrapped chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
