It's Sunday...the pressure is on...it's family 'hang out' afternoon and our boys expect some good food- I usually get compared to my sis in law Lesa (who is a phenomenal cook)..........'aunt Lesa would make us this or that....' is what I hear...
SUCH PRESSURE!!
So, back to scrolling through facebook for the eye catcher-
Kathy (T) posted a recipe called 'Chicken Bombs'
Upon seeing the picture I was hooked........Upon reading the ingredients it was a done deal....
Last week we discovered among the pumpkins in our back yard a jalapeno plant...WHAT! That must have been labeled 'squash' cause I don't remember buying a Jalapeno plant :) Hanging off of this newly found Jalapeno plant in our back yard was 6 medium sized Jalapeno's! We picked them and they have been in the fridge all week just waiting for the perfect 'using' moment........
Lesa, this blog post is dedicated to you and your wonderful cooking- I hope I have made you proud (your nephews say it is ALMOST as good as something you would bake)
And Kathy T. thank you for posting this delicious recipe-
p.s. Happy 66th Birthday to my dad- I love you!

Chicken Bombs
- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Total Time: 45 mins
- Serves: 5, Yield: 10 bombs
Ingredients
- 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 5 jalapenos, sliced in half lengthwise and cleaned
- 20 slices bacon
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup colby-monterey jack cheese or 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Directions
- Slice chicken breasts in half (like a hamburger bun). Place in a plastic food bag and pound until 1/4" thick. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the 2 cheeses together and smear about 1 tablespoons into each pepper half (use up the cheese between all of the peppers).
- Place the pepper on the chicken breast and wrap it up as best you can. I suggest placing the pepper cheese side down so it gets completely covered by the chicken. Wrap each chicken breast completely with two pieces of bacon. Start at one end, wrap half the breast and finish the 2nd half with the other piece of bacon.
- Cook on a preheated 350 degree grill over indirect for 30 minutes or until chicken is done. Turn every 5 minutes and baste with barbecue sauce each time you turn it.
- For oven: Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until chicken is done. Baste a couple times with the barbecue sauce and finish under the broiler to set the BBQ sauce. ~~I suggest a 400 degree oven and no BBQ sauce for the first 20 minutes, turning once to help cook the bacon. Then reduce heat to 375, change pans to loose some of the bacon fat, cover with BBQ sauce and and finish baking/broiling.
