Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 jalapeños, seeded and diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Toothpicks
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Prepare Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch, between two pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeños. Mix until well combined.
- Stuff the Chicken:
- Lay each chicken breast flat and spread an even layer of the cheese mixture over each one.
- Carefully roll up the chicken breasts, starting from the narrow end, to enclose the filling.
- Wrap with Bacon:
- Wrap each chicken roll with 2 slices of bacon, ensuring the bacon covers the entire chicken roll. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- Bake:
- Place the bacon-wrapped chicken rolls on the prepared wire rack on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
- Broil (Optional): For extra crispy bacon, you can broil the chicken rolls for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Serve:
- Remove the toothpicks before serving.
- Slice the rolls into rounds for appetizers or serve whole as a main dish.
