INGREDIENTS

3.5 oz Chicken breast

1 slice Center-cut bacon

0.5 oz Goat cheese

1 medium Jalapeño

2 small Whole wheat slider buns

0.5 tsp Olive oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the chicken breast into two equal slider-sized portions and use a sharp knife to create a small pocket in the side of each piece.

• 2

  Mince the jalapeño, removing seeds if you prefer less heat, and mix it with the goat cheese in a small bowl.

• 3

  Stuff the goat cheese and jalapeño mixture into the chicken pockets, then season the outside of the chicken with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 4

  Wrap one slice of bacon tightly around each stuffed chicken portion, securing with a toothpick if necessary.

• 5

  Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until the bacon begins to crisp and turn golden brown.

• 6

  Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

• 7

  While the chicken rests, lightly toast the whole wheat slider buns in the skillet or a toaster.

• 8

  Place the bacon-wrapped chicken onto the toasted buns and serve immediately.
