Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 slices of bacon
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 jalapeños, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Toothpicks
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Prepare Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch, between two pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeños. Mix until well combined.
Stuff the Chicken:
Lay each chicken breast flat and spread an even layer of the cheese mixture over each one.
Carefully roll up the chicken breasts, starting from the narrow end, to enclose the filling.
Wrap with Bacon:
Wrap each chicken roll with 2 slices of bacon, ensuring the bacon covers the entire chicken roll. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Bake:
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken rolls on the prepared wire rack on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
Broil (Optional): For extra crispy bacon, you can broil the chicken rolls for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Serve:
Remove the toothpicks before serving.
Slice the rolls into rounds for appetizers or serve whole as a main dish.
Enjoy!
