Preparation

Step 1

Cut the top off of the jalapeño peppers.

Slice the pepper open, but don’t cut all the way through.

Scrape out the seeds and rinse under running water. Note: While scraping out the seeds of jalepeno peppers, don’t take deep breaths in and what ever you do DO NOT rub your eyes, nose, mouth or any other facial feature after working with them. Let me help prevent you from learning it the hard way! :)

Cut chicken slices from chicken breast and place inside the peppers.

Wrap chicken and peppers with a single bacon strip.

Poke a toothpick through the chicken bacon popper to keep the bacon from unraveling while cooking.

Arrange the poppers on a broiler pan, set the oven to broil and cook for 8-10 minutes per side.

Take the poppers out of the oven, remove the toothpicks and transfer to a plate to let them cool off for 5-10 minutes before digging in.
