Ingredients

3 Large chicken breast
3 Large jalapenos
1/2 cup Cream cheese
1/4 cup Shredded sharp cheddar
4 tbsp All purpose seasoning
9 strips Bacon

Instructions

Slice off the tip of the jalapeno with the stem and scoop out all the seeds.
In a bowl, add cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2tsp all purpose seasoning. Mix ingredients together.
Scoop the filling into a ziplock bag, cut off the tip and squeeze out enough to fill the entire pepper.
Butterfly a chicken breast across the middle. For thicker breast pieces, I recommend pounding them with a mallet to slightly thin them. Season the inside with all purpose seasoning.
Place the stuffed jalapeno pepper in the middle of the butterflied chicken breast and roll the meat over the pepper covering it whole.
wrap strips of thin bacon around the chicken and close the edges with a toothpick. Season the outside with more all purpose seasoning and place on a wire rack.
Preheat the grill to 350 degrees and set for indirect heat. Grill the stuffed chicken for 45 minutes or until the internal temp of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.
Remove off the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
