Cheese and Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken Breast created by gailanng

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.

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.

Bacon was not done on bottom of chicken, but it was good so I am going to try it again and make alterations.
