"I love bacon jalapeño poppers and by adding the same ingredients to chicken breasts...you can have a whole meal with that jalapeño popper flavor. For less fat use low fat cheeses and center cut bacon."

  1. Absolutely loved this recipe. Couple small changes... I marinated the chicken in some jerk sauce. I didn't add the shredded jack cheese & instead put a slice of swiss chard (or can use spinach) on each breast before wrapping them up. Cooked up great & was very very tasty, thanks for sharing.
     
  2. Great recipe, made them the other night without bacon and just as good.
     
  3. Bacon...ohhhh, the aroma! Gotta be what heaven smells like...gotta be!
     
  4. Bacon was not done on bottom of chicken, but it was good so I am going to try it again and make alterations.
     
  5. OMG!! This is a to die for recipe! A must try for anyone who loves jalapeno poppers! Fixed Crockpot Cheesy Creamed Corn, Buttermilk Roasted Potatoes, Cheese and Garlic biscuits, and Chocolate Cherry Bars for dessert! HEAVEN I tell you pure HEAVEN!!!!!
