These Stuffed Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Chicken Rolls make for a flavorful and mouthwatering appetizer or main dish. Here’s how you can make them:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8-10 fresh jalapeños
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8-10 slices of bacon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Toothpicks
Instructions:
- Prepare the Jalapeños: Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
- Mix the Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Stuff the Jalapeños: Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture. Be generous with the filling for maximum flavor.
- Prepare the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Roll the Chicken: Place a stuffed jalapeño half on one end of a chicken breast and roll it up tightly. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and jalapeños.
- Wrap with Bacon: Wrap each chicken roll with a slice of bacon, ensuring the bacon covers the entire roll. Secure with additional toothpicks if necessary.
- Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the bacon-wrapped chicken rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking rack. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
- Serve: Remove the toothpicks and let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Stuffed Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Chicken Rolls hot!
