Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Stuffed with Jalapeno Poppers

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 1 * 1 – 1 1/2 pound package of boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 * 1 cup Saucy Mama’s Lime-Chipotle Marinade
• 6 * 6 – 8 jalapenos
• 4 * 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 * 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 6 * 6 – 8 slices bacon, sliced in half crosswise

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Place a chicken breast between two heavy-duty sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/8 inch thick. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag with Saucy Mama’s Lime Chipotle Marinade; marinate for thirty minutes.

Meanwhile, roast jalapenos for ten minutes. Remove from oven, and when cool enough to handle, slice in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Combine cream cheese and cilantro; fill jalapeno halves with cream cheese mixture.

Slice chicken crosswise into pieces the same size as your jalapenos (or slightly smaller, as in photo above). Wrap jalapenos with chicken, seam side down. Wrap bacon around chicken, seam side on top, then spear with a toothpick to hold it all together. Place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 15 – 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Turn on the broiler the last few minutes to crisp the bacon, if desired. Remove from oven and remove toothpicks. Serve and enjoy! :-)
