Always trying something new. My daughter sent me a recipe for chicken bombs. I took a look at it and it seemed good but the ingredients seemed not enough [as usual for me and i make too much, o well]. So here is what i did:
Bought some boneless skinless chicken breasts that were on sale for 1.88 lb. Cut them in half length wise, pounded them thinner with my trusty cleaver [pound them gently, the first wack on one split it in different directions], seasoned each half [with your favorite rub] put a jalapeno pepper on the slice of breast [seeded and take the veins out] [blanch the peppers for a couple of minutes as well], and rolled it up. Then wrapped two slices of bacon around it. Most of the time the bacon holds the chicken breast intact but if you overfill like i do wooden skewers are needed. Then i put the breasts on a jerkey rack on top of a drip pan with some apple juice in it for some moisture while in the oven [will do these in my smoker when sanity returns in terms of weather here in Mn.]. Turned the oven on to 350 and basted with my sauce during the cooking process except toward the end when i wanted to crisp up the bacon more.
The filling was simply cream cheese [8 oz. softened] and 8 oz of cheddar cheese [shredded]. put that in the micro for a little bit to soften until i could mix it up in a gooooeeee texture. Filled the halves of the peppers with it.. Reinhard
