Ingredients

Ingredients necessary for the recipe step are in italic. Ingredient measurements may vary due to measurement tools used.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F/177C
- Warning! Make sure you wear gloves when you do this to prevent the peppers' oils from getting into your skin. Do not rub your eyes or nose while doing this prep either. Chop the jalapenos into small dice. Mix the jalapenos with the cream cheese and set aside.
- Have ready a half sheet pan, foil, and a cooling rack. Put the foil on the sheet pan, then the rack on the foil. This will make clean up easier.
- If the chicken breasts are whole, then slice them open and butterfly them. Each side should be about the same size as a piece of ham. Pound them so they are all about the same thickness.
- Then put a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture, and finally some of the cheddar cheese.
- Roll the chicken breasts up making sure to tuck the ends in. Wrap the bacon slices around each chicken breast, making sure to cover the ends well. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- Put the wrapped chicken on the cooling rack and place in the oven.
- Roast for about 20 minutes and check to see if the bacon is brown. If the bacon is not brown, continue roasting until the bacon is browned and crisp and an instant-read thermometer reads 160F/71C.
- Remove the bundles from the oven and brush them liberally with barbecue sauce. Then return them to the oven for another 5 minutes or until the barbecue sauce has browned. Remove from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes.
- You may find that some of the cheese has escaped in cooking. No worries, serve the chicken breasts and put some of that good cheese on the plate, too.
- Enjoy!!
Notes
This is VERY rich, and you might want to plate these on a platter then cut them in half at the table for presentation, and give each guest a half. The nutritional values expressed at for one piece each, not a half.
If you don't want jalapeno, you could substitute sweet bell pepper instead, or make it even hotter with a habanero pepper.
Of course, you can put this on the barbecue, too!
