Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken (recipe)

[powerboatr]

I was going to at least take a picture to go with the recipe, but it looked too good and I just ate it instead.

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts (thick is good for stuffing)
8 slices bacon
4 tablespoons cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheese
4 diced jalapenos (more if they aren't very big peppers)
chili powder
kosher salt
black pepper
brown sugar

Preheat oven to 375.

Mix the diced jalapenos (seeded and scraped if you're a wimp, just diced if you're not), shredded cheese, and softened cream cheese.
Cut a pouch into the side of each breast and fill with cheese/jalapeno mix.
Mix salt, chili powder and pepper and sprinkle onto both sides of the chicken.
Wrap chicken with bacon (2 slices per breast) and pin the pouch closed with toothpicks. Sprinkle with brown sugar, and throw it in the oven.

Cook for 30 min and enjoy.

The girls came over for Mothers Day today and this was requested for the meal. Thanks again 74novaman, I made the Mothers happy. Happy Mothers Day to all you Moms out there!

I have made 74novaman's stuffed chicken and it is very good. This time I tried something a bit different:

Grilled Chicken l'Orange - The sauce is made with chicken stock, orange juice, zest of orange peel, ginger and an ounce or two Cointreau liqueur.
Rub the chicken with olive oil and Worchester sauce, season with Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, garlic powder and ground white pepper.
Grill the chicken 45 minutes over indirect heat, turning once every 15 minutes.
Put the chicken in an aluminum pan, pour sauce over the chicken, cover and heat for 30 minutes.

That looks really good. Sounds like a dinner item for us in the near future.

Just be careful using Bacon around here... the last time we got in to a lengthy bacon discussion, it ended up with a member being banned.
