Awesome Eats

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Chicken 


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









- Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon. I recommend wrapping each strip in different directions.







- If cooking on the grill, cook for 20 minutes, rotating frequently. If cooking on the Foreman, cook for 12 minutes.
* 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!
