We are starting out with a great recipe for summer grilling. Nick and I love BACON–seriously it's awesome! The chicken jalapeno poppers, as we call them, are great as an appetizer or they can serve as the main dish for a meal.
Ingredients:
6 jalapenos
cream cheese (1/3 less fat works great)
2 chicken breasts
enough bacon to wrap about 12 jalapenos halves
tooth picks
seasoning (we used original meat magic)
Directions:
Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove all seeds (I use a small spoon) and rinse under cold water. Careful not to touch your face after removing the jalapeno seeds. If you cannot handle much of the heat from jalapenos, you can soak the halves in salted water for 30 minutes.
Cut the chicken into 12 small pieces and season with meat magic. Set all ingredients out to begin the stuffing/wrapping process. Take a jalapeno half, add cream cheese, then chicken breast and wrap with bacon, followed by a toothpick to secure the bacon. Repeat until all jalapeno chicken poppers are wrapped in bacon.
You can either grill on a BBQ or cook in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until bacon starts to crisp up.
I even ate them the next day for lunch. These are scrumptious.
