Total Time: 1 hr 40 mins Preparation Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 lbs chicken breasts
• 2 lbs bacon
• 1 lb fresh jalapeno

Recipe

• 1 you will need toothpicks for this. i buy the strong kind so that they don't break easy. soak toothpicks in water for about 30 minutes.
• 2 first you will need to cut jalapenos lengthwise in half and remove seeds. you can use canned jalapenos; i just prefer fresh.
• 3 flatten chicken to about 1" and cut into 4-6 pieces (enough to roll over a jalapeno half). season with whatever seasonings you prefer. i use my dad's homemade seasonings.
• 4 take a chicken piece, roll it around a jalapeno half, then roll 1 slice of bacon over top and secure with a toothpick. this may take a while; i usually do this the night before i grill or bake them.
• 5 cook on grill until bacon is crisp and chicken is cooked through.
• 6 you can bake these in the oven at 350 degrees fahrenheit for about 45 minutes; i just like them grilled.
• 7 you can steal some off the grill as you are cooking them! yum!
• 8 if you have extra jalapenos left over, grill 'em if you can take the heat!
