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.

- 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

- Brown rolls over medium heat until bacon just begins to crisp. Place on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
- Grilling Method: Skip step #3. Grill on all sides until chicken and bacon are cooked through, being careful because the cheese will melt and seep out. Watch for flare ups from bacon fat.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F
- Grease baking pan 13x19 or use non stick pan.
- Cut chicken breasts in half (pretend your chicken is a person and cut around the waist, not long ways).
- Cut a pocket into the side of the breast halve about 3/4th the way through each -- try not to slit through the sides or the cheese will run out.
- Pepper both sizes of the breast for a medium coating. not really thick but not light either.
- Squeeze your cheese of choice down into a compacted little ball and stuff breast halve as tightly as possible but not so much that you can't pinch the open ends of the chicken together.
- Spiral wrap the breast with bacon starting with one of the open corners. I usually spiral wrap it with 2-3 pieces and use the last piece to wrap circularly around the sides. This makes it look nice and covers the ends that the spiral wrapping left bare.
- Use tooth picks to hold your bacon in place. Make sure you don't leave any ends on top of the chicken breast unsecured, they will roll up during cooking and burn and your chicken will dry out --
- Cook for 25-27 minutes, bacon should start to crisp before you remove the dish from the oven. Inside temperature should be 165 or over.
- Remove tooth picks, sprinkle a bit of the chosen cheese on top. Let stand 5 minutes to cool, then serve. -.

Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
- For a crispier bacon wrap, cook the chicken for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the bacon is browned to your liking.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the jalapeños before roasting them. You can also adjust the amount of cayenne pepper in the cheese filling to suit your taste.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese in the filling. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, pepper Jack, or a blend of your favorites.
- For a more visually appealing presentation, arrange the stuffed chicken breasts seam-side down on the baking sheet.
