Stuffed Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Chicken Rolls


 

Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Chicken Rolls: A Flavorful Delight

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large jalapeño peppers, seeded and sliced into strips
  • 8-12 slices of bacon
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Toothpicks

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them in half horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  2. Open the chicken breasts like a book and place them between two sheets of plastic wrap.
  3. Pound the chicken to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  4. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Make the Filling:

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until well combined.

Assemble the Rolls:

  1. Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture onto each chicken breast.
  2. Place 2-3 jalapeño strips on top of the cheese mixture.
  3. Carefully roll up the chicken breasts, starting from the narrow end, and secure with toothpicks.

Wrap with Bacon:

  1. Wrap each chicken roll with 2-3 slices of bacon, ensuring the entire roll is covered.
  2. Secure the bacon with additional toothpicks if necessary.

Bake the Chicken Rolls:

  1. Place the bacon-wrapped chicken rolls on the prepared baking sheet with the wire rack.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
  3. For extra crispiness, you can broil the chicken rolls for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Serve:

  1. Remove the toothpicks and let the chicken rolls rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  2. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
