Ingredients

5 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
5 jalapeno peppers
20 strips of bacon
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 c grated colby jack or cheddar cheese
1 c bbq sauce (you can use the low sugar kind)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Slice chicken breasts in half width wise. (each half will make a chicken bomb). Place between two pieces of wax paper and pound to 1/4 inch thickness. *a rolling pin also does the trick. Season each with salt and pepper.
2. Slice jalapenos in half, length wise and remove seeds, ribs, and the ends with the stem. (you might want to wear gloves and don't touch your face). In a small bowl, mix your softened cream cheese with your grated colby jack or cheddar cheese.
3. Fill each jalapeno half with about 1 Tblsp. cheese mixture (maybe a little more, as desired).
4. Place 1 jalapeno half at the end of each pounded breast piece. Roll chicken over jalapeno half and together. (don't worrry if it doesn't close like you think it should). The bacon will pull it all together.
5. Wrap each breast with 2 bacon strips. Just wrap tightly and tuck the ends of bacon under the strips. You don't need toothpicks.
6. Preheat bbq grill to 350 degrees. Cook chicken over indirect heat for 20-25 minutes, turning every 4-5 minutes. Baste chicken with bbq sauce each time you turn it. Give it 1 final basting just before it's done. **I baked the chicken bombs in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, instead of using the bbq. They cooked perfectly, and I opted not to use the bbq sauce. Chicken is ready when it reaches an internal temp. of 165 degrees. If you don't have a meat thermometer, pierce chicken with a fork. If juices run clear, it's done!

I love that this recipe can be made ahead of time. I usually make them the day before and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

These chicken bombs are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use the leftovers to make these.

I've never been a big fan of chicken bombs, but these were actually really good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the coating was crispy and not too greasy.
