Ingredients:
- Olive oil (2 cups)
- Red Pepper Flakes (4 tbsp)
- 4 Garlic Cloves (minced)
- 6 Boneless Chicken Breasts Halves
- 3 Jalapeno Peppers (halved)
- 1 Package of Cream Cheese (3 oz)
- 12 Slices of Bacon
Cooking Directions:
- Place chicken breast, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a dish and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Make sure chicken breast is as flat as possible, it will make it easier to roll later on. If you need to, pound it down.
- If your using the grill, preheat to high heat. If your cooking on the Foreman, plug that sucker in.
- Stuff each jalapeno with cream cheese. Make sure the insides are scooped out of the jalapenos. If you do not want it too spicy, make sure there are no seeds at all.
- Wrap the chicken breast around the jalapeno
* If you want to bake, instead of grill, place the chicken in the oven for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Rotate at the 20 minute mark.
*For those on the Paleo Diet, the cream cheese is obviously not Paleo. You can remove it or find a substitute. I personally have not been able to find a suitable substitute but if you figure something out, leave it in the comments section and I'll relay the message. Enjoy!
David,
ReplyDeleteMan - this looks fantastic! Every summer I make a big batch of smoked Jalapenos for use in my own Chipotle sauce; however I also save some of the smoked peppers for stuffing with cheese. I am DEFINITELY going to try your recipe soon, and use up some of my smoked peppers.

Thanks for the feedback Tim. No joke, I've eaten six of these things this weekend. Probably my favorite so far. I like the sound of that chipotle sauce ... feel free to share, Im sure our other readers would like to see how you make it
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteThe recipe I use for making Chipotle in Adobo sauce is based on this one at http://www.fiery-foods.com/recipesearch/chipotle-chiles-in-adobo-sauce.
I have modified it to use 1/2 the suggested sugar and I use freshly smoked jalapenos instead of dried ones.
If this sounds like too much work, or you would like to try it out first, and easy alternative is to buy a can of chipotles packed in adobo from the grocery store and puree it at home. It isn't as smokey but it makes for a fantastic condiment.
