BACON WRAPPED, CREAM CHEESE & JALAPENO STUFFED CHICKEN BITES RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:
- Cut up chicken breasts or tenders into about one inch or inch and a half cubed pieces, Marinate the chicken in whatever you like. Some combination of onion, garlic, soy sauce, salt, pepper, hot sauce, olive oil, and teriyaki sauce is best. The ratios are all to taste. Let the chicken marinate for at least an hour. After chicken has marinated, take one piece and place it at the end of one piece of bacon. On top of the chicken piece, place a jalapeno (or two, depending on their size) and a small dollop (for lack of a better word) of cream cheese. Then start rolling the enitre thing up in the bacon. Try to make it tight, but not tight enough to force the cream cheese to squeeze out. You want the bacon to wrap about two times around the chicken piece. It the bacon piece is too large, just cut off any excess. Put a toothpick(or two) through the the entire thing to hold it together. Each piece should be able to be finished in about two bites. After you have rolled all of your pieces, put them on the grill, turning them with tongs to cook the sides evenly. When the bacon is finished cooking, they are done. Usually about 12-15 mins. per batch depending on how hot your grill is. Plate them and serve.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use free-range chicken and thick-cut bacon for the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the chicken and bacon in batches if necessary to prevent them from steaming instead of browning.
- Use a meat thermometer: Cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it is cooked through.
- Make the sauce ahead of time: The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce are all great options.
Conclusion:
Chicken bacon bites are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them spicy, cheesy, or saucy, there is a chicken bacon bite recipe out there for you.
