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



Bacon Wrapped, Cream Cheese & Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken Bites Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by shawnanewton

Number Of Ingredients 7

Chicken Marinade:
1 Large Pack of Chicken Tenders, 4 pounds. Cube chicken.
2-3 packaged sliced bacon
1 jar Jalapenos, jar jalapenos are fine
1 Brick of Cream Cheese, 8 ounces
Toothpicks
Marinate chicken in whatever you like, some combination of onion, garlic, soy sauce, salt, pepper, hot sauce, olive oil, and teriyaki sauce is best, to taste.

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:

  • Use fresh jalapeños: Fresh jalapeños have a better flavor and texture than canned or jarred jalapeños.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help reduce the heat level of the peppers.
  • Use a sharp knife to dice the jalapeños: This will help prevent the peppers from becoming mushy.
  • Use a food processor to shred the cheese: This will help ensure that the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the bites.
  • Use a large bowl to mix the ingredients: This will help prevent the ingredients from becoming too crowded.
  • Form the bites into small balls: This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Bake the bites until they are golden brown: This will help ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the bites warm with your favorite dipping sauce: This will help enhance the flavor of the bites.

Conclusion:

Jalapeño cheese bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them mild or spicy, these bites are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
