  • 10 mins
  • 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 4 (6 ounce) chicken breasts, butterflied or pounded thin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons roasted jalapenos (or fresh, or pickled), diced
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup monterey jack or cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 slices bacon

Preparation

Step 1

Lay the chicken flat, season the outside with salt and pepper, spread 1/4 of the mixture of the jalapenos and the cheeses on the chicken breasts, roll them up and wrap each in 2 slices of bacon

Grill over indirect medium heat, with the lid down, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked (160F to 165F), about 20-30 minutes, or bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven on a wire rack on a baking pan until cooked, about 20-30 minutes, turning the oven to broil for the last few minutes to ensure that the bacon is crispy.

: Replace the salt and pepper with your favourite seasoning blend such as Cajun or taco seasoning.

: Add cheddar cheese
