I’ve been looking to incorporate a little more chicken into my diet. The result of some discussion on how to prepare it with what was on-hand led to a plate full of these things:
What you see here is a chicken breast flattened out, covered with a mixture of cheddar, cream cheese, jalapeño, and bacon, then rolled up. This is the second shot at making these and they turned out great this time.
The jalapeño was diced up and mixed with about equal parts grated cheddar, cream cheese, and cooked bacon (crumbled up). The chicken breast was pounded out to about 1/4 inch thick. Both sides were salted and peppered.
The cheese mix was put on the flattened breasts and they were rolled up and placed in a pan. We cooked them at 450º for about 25 minutes. Cook them until the internal temperature is 165º.
I think the only improvement might be to sauté the jalapeño a little before putting them into the mixture.
