Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Chicken Bites

By cmschnettler

Ingredients

• 8 chicken tenders, flattened and cut in two
• 3-ounce package softened cream cheese
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 8 slices bacon, cut in half

Preparation

Step 1

Dab ½ teaspoon (more or less) of cream cheese on top of each chicken tender. Sprinkle a scant ¼ teaspoon of peppers over cream cheese. Fold or roll chicken to enclose cream cheese mixture. Wrap each roll with one piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Grill until bacon is brown and crispy on both sides.

Note: the size of the tenders I used were 5-6 inches long and 2-3 inches wide before flattening and cutting in half. Try flattening meat inside a zip-lock bag as pictured above. No flying pieces, no contamination on your cutting board from the chicken, and cleanup is super easy.
