Steps:
- Wear gloves to protect your hands and use a small paring knife to cut the stem-end off the jalapeño; you should see the white ribs attached to the walls of the jalapeño. Use the paring knife to remove the ribs from the walls. Make a cut down the length of the jalapeño from the top to the tip. Carefully, without breaking the jalapeño in half, scrape out the ribs and seeds. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl, add 3 tablespoons water, cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high power until the jalapeños turn olive green and are lightly softened but are still firm and hold their shape, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool.
- Stuff each cooled jalapeño with a piece of cream cheese; squeeze the walls around the cream cheese to force out any air pockets and to seal the jalapeño walls together.
- Mix together the cumin, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Pound the chicken lengthwise down the breast to make a rectangular 1/4-inch-thick cutlet. Sprinkle with a quarter of the seasoned salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken and seasoned salt.
- With one of the narrow ends of the chicken facing you, lay a piece of Colby Jack cheese at the bottom of the cutlet. Place 1 stuffed jalapeño crosswise on top of the cheese about 2 inches from the bottom. Tightly roll up the chicken and the cheese around the jalapeño, folding in the sides as you roll. Repeat with the remaining chicken and jalapeños.
- Lay 5 strips of bacon on a clean work surface so that the strips are slightly overlapping (about 1/4-inch) and are wide enough to completely cover a chicken roll. Place 1 chicken roll at the bottom of the bacon blanket. Wrap the bacon tightly over the chicken roll. Repeat with the remaining bacon and chicken rolls.
- Prepare a grill for indirect grilling and heat to medium-high heat.
- Place the chicken rolls, bacon seam-side down, on the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook until the bacon is beginning to brown and the cheese is beginning to melt and ooze from the sides, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken rolls to the hot side of the grill and cook until lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Combine cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, jalapenos, garlic powder, and barbecue seasoning in a bowl. Mix well until evenly combined.
- Cut a deep pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Fill the pocket of each chicken breast with cream cheese mixture. Wrap each chicken breast with 3 slices of bacon.
- Place a baking rack on top of a baking sheet and place stuffed chicken on top of the rack.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.40

BACON-WRAPPED, JALAPEñO-POPPER-STUFFED CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Lay the chicken flat, season both sides with salt and pepper, place 1/4 of the mixture of the jalapeños, cream cheese, and cheddar on the chicken and roll them up. Wrap each chicken breast up to 2 slices of bacon and place them in a baking dish. Bake in a pre-heated 400°F oven until cooked, about 25 to 35 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right jalapeños. Look for medium-sized jalapeños that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid jalapeños that are too large or have blemishes.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños. The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin and eyes.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños. This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers.
- Stuff the jalapeños with a mixture of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and cooked bacon. You can also add other ingredients to your filling, such as chopped onion, garlic, or cilantro.
- Wrap the jalapeños in bacon. Make sure that the bacon is tightly wrapped around the peppers, so that it doesn't come loose during cooking.
- Bake the jalapeño poppers in a preheated oven until the bacon is cooked and the peppers are softened.
- Serve the jalapeño poppers immediately, with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for parties or potlucks. They are also a great way to use up leftover bacon and jalapeños. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these tasty treats that are sure to be a hit with your guests.
