Categories     Poultry

Time 45m

Yield 10 bombs, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
5 jalapenos, sliced in half lengthwise and cleaned
20 slices bacon
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup colby-monterey jack cheese or 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
salt and pepper
1 cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Slice chicken breasts in half (like a hamburger bun). Place in a plastic food bag and pound until 1/4" thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the 2 cheeses together and smear about 1 tablespoons into each pepper half (use up the cheese between all of the peppers).
  • Place the pepper on the chicken breast and wrap it up as best you can. I suggest placing the pepper cheese side down so it gets completely covered by the chicken. Wrap each chicken breast completely with two pieces of bacon. Start at one end, wrap half the breast and finish the 2nd half with the other piece of bacon.
  • Cook on a preheated 350 degree grill over indirect for 30 minutes or until chicken is done. Turn every 5 minutes and baste with barbecue sauce each time you turn it.
  • For oven: Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until chicken is done. Baste a couple times with the barbecue sauce and finish under the broiler to set the BBQ sauce. ~~I suggest a 400 degree oven and no BBQ sauce for the first 20 minutes, turning once to help cook the bacon. Then reduce heat to 375, change pans to loose some of the bacon fat, cover with BBQ sauce and and finish baking/broiling.

CHICKEN BOMBS



Chicken Bombs image

We love jalapeno peppers, and chicken, and I loved the name of the recipe. Plan on making it this week. saw recipe on Facebook Photos: my own

Provided by Carol Perricone

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
5 jalapeno peppers
20 strips of bacon
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 c grated colby jack or cheddar cheese
1 c bbq sauce (you can use the low sugar kind)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Slice chicken breasts in half width wise. (each half will make a chicken bomb). Place between two pieces of wax paper and pound to 1/4 inch thickness. *a rolling pin also does the trick. Season each with salt and pepper.
  • 2. Slice jalapenos in half, length wise and remove seeds, ribs, and the ends with the stem. (you might want to wear gloves and don't touch your face). In a small bowl, mix your softened cream cheese with your grated colby jack or cheddar cheese.
  • 3. Fill each jalapeno half with about 1 Tblsp. cheese mixture (maybe a little more, as desired).
  • 4. Place 1 jalapeno half at the end of each pounded breast piece. Roll chicken over jalapeno half and together. (don't worrry if it doesn't close like you think it should). The bacon will pull it all together.
  • 5. Wrap each breast with 2 bacon strips. Just wrap tightly and tuck the ends of bacon under the strips. You don't need toothpicks.
  • 6. Preheat bbq grill to 350 degrees. Cook chicken over indirect heat for 20-25 minutes, turning every 4-5 minutes. Baste chicken with bbq sauce each time you turn it. Give it 1 final basting just before it's done. **I baked the chicken bombs in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, instead of using the bbq. They cooked perfectly, and I opted not to use the bbq sauce. Chicken is ready when it reaches an internal temp. of 165 degrees. If you don't have a meat thermometer, pierce chicken with a fork. If juices run clear, it's done!

CHICKEN BOMBS

Yield 5 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts-makes 10 bombs:@)
5 jalapenos, sliced in half lengthwise and cleaned
20 slices bacon
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 C colby jack or cheddar cheese, shredded
S&P to taste
1 C BBQ sauce-I used Sweet Baby Ray's

Steps:

  • Slice chicken breasts in half (like a hamburger bun), place between wax paper and pound until it's 1/4" thick. Season with S&P. Mix the two cheeses together and smear about 1 Tblsp into each pepper half (just use up the cheese between all of the peppers). Place the pepper on the chicken breast and wrap it up as best you can. I suggest placing the pepper cheese side down so it gets completely covered by the chicken. Wrap each chicken breast completely with two pieces of bacon. Start at one end, wrap half the breast and finish the second half with the other piece of bacon. Cook on a preheated 350 degree grill over indirect heat for 30 minutes or until chicken is done. Turn every 5 minutes and baste with BBQ sauce each time you turn it. For oven: Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until chicken is done. Baste a couple times and finish under the broiler to set the BBQ sauce. **I suggest a 400 degree oven and no BBQ sauce for the first 20 minutes, turning once to help cook the bacon. Then reduce heat to 375, change pans to loose some of the bacon fat (if you don't have a broiler pan), cover in BBQ sauce and finish baking

Tips:

  • For extra crispy chicken bombs, double-coat them in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • To make the chicken bombs ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Once they are cool, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you are ready to serve, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are heated through.
  • If you don't have any bread crumbs, you can make your own by crushing up crackers or pretzels in a food processor.
  • Feel free to experiment with different fillings for your chicken bombs. Some other popular options include cheese, cooked bacon, and diced vegetables.
  • Serve chicken bombs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, or honey mustard.
