Ingredients

US Metric

2 ea 2 Large chicken breasts
2 cups 2 Panko bread crumbs
2 tbsp 2 granulated garlic
2 tbsp 2 Sea salt
2 tbsp 2 Black pepper
2 cups 2 Heavy cream
2 ea 2 Eggs
6 ea 6 Bacon strips
Cream Cheese Filling
1 block 1 Cream cheese
1/2 cup 1/2 Parmesan cheese
2 ea 2 Jalapeño's, diced, seeds removed
1 ea 1 Garlic clove, diced

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cream Cheese Jalapeño Filling
Dice the Jalapeño's. The seeds control the heat. Add/Decrease/Remove the seeds according to your heat tolerance. I ALWAYS wear kitchen gloves when handling Jalapeño's. They can save a lot of tears.
Dice the garlic clove.
In a small bowl, add the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic and Jalapeño's. Mix thoroughly.
Panko Crumbs
Add Panko and spices together in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Add heavy cream and eggs in separate bowl. Wisk until blended.
Chicken Prep
Wash the chicken breasts. Remove any excess skin.
Along the thickest part of the breast, slice it lengthwise, making a pocket. Set aside.
Dip chicken breast in cream mixture. Cover thoroughly.
Drag chicken through Panko crumbs. Cover thoroughly.
Stuff the cream cheese mixture in the pocket of the chicken breast.
Sprinkle remaining Jalapeño's and garlic on top.
Wrap chicken in 3 slices of bacon. Secure with a wooden toothpick.
I like to put my chicken in a roasting pan with a grate so they have circulation all the way around them. This gives an even crispness to the bacon all the way around.
Place in middle rack of oven. Bake for approximately 25 minutes. With a food thermometer, check the internal temperature of the chicken. Remove chicken from oven at 160 degrees and let rest for 10 minutes.
Plate and enjoy!
