Ingredients For Stuffed Chicken

6 Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts
1 8 oz. Package of Cream Cheese softened
1 Large Poblano Pepper diced
1 Cup Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
BBQ Rub or seasonings of choice
1 16 oz Package of bacon
1/3 cup BBQ Sauce - Optional

Instructions

Start by preheating your grill to 400 degrees.
Then in a bowl, you will add your cream cheese, diced pepper, and shredded pepper jack cheese. Mix until creamy. Set aside.
Now with your chicken, you want to flatten out the chicken to a thinner layer. Use a mallet if you need it. Season with bbq seasoning or do something simple like salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Drop some cream cheese in the center of the chicken and begin wrapping the chicken together. Use toothpicks to secure the chicken.
Wrap in 2-3 pieces of bacon. Secure the bacon to chicken with toothpicks. Try to make all areas of the chicken sealed so the cream cheese doesn't ooze out.
Toss the chicken bombs on the grill and cook for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken and the bacon are fully cooked. Rotate the chicken as it cooks to get an even cook.
If you want brush the chicken with bbq sauce right before you remove, to help add extra flavor to your bacon-wrapped chicken. This is optional.
Allow your bacon-wrapped stuffed chicken to rest for 5 minutes once cooked. Then serve up with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

Ninja Foodi Grill or Indoor Grill of Choice - If you own an indoor grill you can cook the chicken on your indoor grill. Just preheat the grill and cook as you would on the regular grill.

Depending on how thick or thin your chicken and bacon are, the cooking time will vary.

You can bake the chicken at 375 degrees in the oven if you don't want to grill.

Chicken is fully cooked once it reaches 165 degrees internally.

You can store your chicken in the fridge for up to three days. Or freeze for up to three months.

If you want to make it ahead of time, prep the chicken 24 hours in advance. Cover and store in the fridge. Then let the chicken rest on the counter 15-30 minutes before grilling. Then grill as normal.
