INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (113g)
2 slices Bacon (26g total)
1 oz Light Cream Cheese (28g)
1 medium Jalapeño Pepper (14g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are relatively uniform for even cooking.
Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise, removing seeds if a milder heat is desired.
Lay out a bacon slice, place a piece of chicken in the center, add a small dollop (about 1/3 of the cream cheese) and a sliver of jalapeño on top.
Wrap the bacon around the chicken piece and secure with a toothpick. Repeat for all chicken pieces.
Place the wrapped bites on the baking sheet, then lightly drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and chicken is cooked through.
Allow to cool slightly before serving to enhance the flavor and texture.
