Chicken filled with cream cheese and jalapenos, rolled and wrapped in bacon, then grilled to perfection. Sounds good? Well it is!!! This is a great appetizer but it can make a great main dish or BBQ treat too! It is extremely simple to prepare and as always it can be easily adapted to your needs/taste. You can leave out the jalapenos or skimp a bit and use some fresh chives, spring onions or basil instead.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast in halves and flattened
- 200g softened cream cheese
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped (you can also use pickled ones)
- 8 slices bacon cut in half
Directions
- Dab 1/2 teaspoon (more or less) of cream cheese on top of each chicken tender. Sprinkle a scant 1/4 teaspoon of peppers over cream cheese.
- Fold or roll chicken to enclose cream cheese mixture. Wrap each roll with one piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
- Grill until bacon is brown and crispy on both sides and chicken is cooked through.
Tip: Try flattening meat inside a zip-lock bag, it makes the work and cleanup much easier.
