My family has craving for chicken. We love to try different meals with chicken.

The point here is you love them and they fit your taste better, right?

Delicious and super duper impressive, jalapeno popper chicken is a great treat for both family dinners and holidays, Christmas, for instance. Not just that, it’s way easier to make than you think. Cut a deep pocket into the side of the chicken breasts (not cut all the way through). Spoon the jalapeno cheese mixture into each chicken breast evenly. Wrap the chicken breast with two slices of bacon. Make sure that the bacon is wrapped tightly so that the filling will hold together in the oven. Bake until the chicken is completely cooked and the bacon is crisp and brown. That all.
