Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Chicken Bites




Chicken spread with cream cheese and jalapenos, rolled and wrapped with bacon, then grilled

Makes: 16 bite-size
Ingredients
  • 8 chicken tenders, flattened and cut in two. Or partially defrost a boneless chicken breast and thin slice it (< ¼”).  
  • 3-4 oz softened goat cheese
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 8 slices bacon, cut in half
Instructions
  1. Dab ½ teaspoon (more or less) of goat cheese on top of each chicken tender. Sprinkle a ¼ teaspoon of peppers over cream cheese (don’t shy away from the pepper!). Fold or roll chicken to enclose cream cheese mixture. Wrap each roll with one piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  2. Grill until bacon is brown and crispy on both sides. Barbecue is best. Toaster oven will do if the barbecue is buried under snow.
