BACON WRAPPED, CREAM CHEESE & JALAPENO STUFFED CHICKEN BITES RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Bacon Wrapped, Cream Cheese & Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken Bites Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by shawnanewton

Number Of Ingredients 7

Chicken Marinade:
1 Large Pack of Chicken Tenders, 4 pounds. Cube chicken.
2-3 packaged sliced bacon
1 jar Jalapenos, jar jalapenos are fine
1 Brick of Cream Cheese, 8 ounces
Toothpicks
Marinate chicken in whatever you like, some combination of onion, garlic, soy sauce, salt, pepper, hot sauce, olive oil, and teriyaki sauce is best, to taste.

Steps:

  • Cut up chicken breasts or tenders into about one inch or inch and a half cubed pieces, Marinate the chicken in whatever you like. Some combination of onion, garlic, soy sauce, salt, pepper, hot sauce, olive oil, and teriyaki sauce is best. The ratios are all to taste. Let the chicken marinate for at least an hour. After chicken has marinated, take one piece and place it at the end of one piece of bacon. On top of the chicken piece, place a jalapeno (or two, depending on their size) and a small dollop (for lack of a better word) of cream cheese. Then start rolling the enitre thing up in the bacon. Try to make it tight, but not tight enough to force the cream cheese to squeeze out. You want the bacon to wrap about two times around the chicken piece. It the bacon piece is too large, just cut off any excess. Put a toothpick(or two) through the the entire thing to hold it together. Each piece should be able to be finished in about two bites. After you have rolled all of your pieces, put them on the grill, turning them with tongs to cook the sides evenly. When the bacon is finished cooking, they are done. Usually about 12-15 mins. per batch depending on how hot your grill is. Plate them and serve.

Tips:

  • To make sure the cheese bites are cooked evenly, use a muffin pan with individual wells.
  • If you like your cheese bites extra crispy, bake them for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • For a spicier cheese bite, use a hotter pepper, such as a serrano or habanero.
  • If you don't have a muffin pan, you can also bake the cheese bites in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • To make the cheese bites ahead of time, simply prepare them according to the recipe and then store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, bake them in a preheated oven until heated through.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno cheese bites are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give these jalapeno cheese bites a try!
