  • 1 Tbsp. Butter or possibly margarine, softened
  • 8 ounce Whipped cream cheese with chives, at room temperature
  • 6 x Jalapenos peppers, fresh or possibly canned, with seeds, optional
  • 6 slc Bacon, optional

Directions

  1. This recipe tucks a jalapeno inside a cream cheese-filled chicken breast to make an elegant main dish which is a few degrees above the normal. Add in a green salad, tostado chips and Spanish rice for a complete meal. - Beth
  2. Flatten chicken breast halves to 1/2-inch thickness.
  3. Spread butter on each chicken piece.
  4. Spread about 3 Tbsp. cream cheese on each.
  5. PEPPER
  6. NOTE: If your family likes spicy food, use a whole jalapeno, seeds and all, discarding only the stem. For a medium version, remove seeds from the jalapeno. For a mild version, use half of a seeded jalapeno.
  7. Place a jalapeno at the edge of the cheese-topped side, then roll up chicken piece around the jalapeno (with the cheese on the inside of the roll). Repeat with ole jalapeno, seeds and all, discarding only the stem.
  8. For a medium version, remove seeds from the jalapeno. For a mild version, use half of a seeded jalapeno.
  9. Preheat oven to 400F. If using, wrap a slice of bacon around each chicken roll. Place rolls, seam side down, in a shallow baking dish. Bakefor 40 min, or possibly till chicken is tender. Complete cooking by broiling 5 min or possibly till bacon is crisp.
  10. Jalapenos (pronounced hal-ah-pain-yas) are the small green chili peppers used in Tex-Mex cooking which look so innocent on the plate yet conceal a taste hotter than a rancher's branding iron.
