Chicken Wrapped in Bacon
Chicken Wrapped in Bacon w/Cream Cheese
Directions
- Butterfly chicken breasts by slicing in half length-wise without cutting in two pieces.
- Cover chicken breasts with plastic wrap and carefully pound with a meat tenderizer until they are flat.
- Dust the front, back and insides of the chicken breasts with Bayou Bootleg Cajun Seasoning; refrigerate overnight or for several hours prior to cooking.
- Slice the brick of cream cheese into quarters lengthwise and place one section on the inside of each opened breast.
- Slice jalapeños in half and remove seeds.
- Place half of jalapeño on top of cream cheese.
- Fold chicken breasts back like closing a book.
- Wrap each breast with two slices of bacon by wrapping the bacon around the breast and inserting a toothpick to hold it into place.
- Place on the grill until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Enjoy!
Chef’s Note: When inserting the toothpicks to hold the bacon in place, I recommend inserting the toothpick at an angle and leaving about 1/4 of the toothpick sticking out of the breast. This will make it easier to flip on the grill.
