Notes

Ingredients

  • 4 (6 ounce) chicken breasts, butterflied or pounded thin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, diced
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack, shredded
  • 8 slices bacon

Instructions

  1. Heat a grill to medium heat.
  2. Lay the chicken flat, season the outside with salt and pepper, spread 1/4 of the mixture of the jalapeños and the cheeses on the chicken breasts, roll them up and wrap each in 2 slices of bacon.
  3. Grill chicken with the lid down, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked (160F to 165F), about 20-30 minutes, or bake in a preheated 400F oven, about 20-30 minutes, turning the oven to broil for the last few minutes to crisp the bacon.

Steak Fiesta Bowl

Make a hearty and healthy dinner in a bowl. I love this recipe since the real prepping and cooking is only grilling the meat and cooking the rice. All of the other toppings can be store bought or made ahead of time, making this an easy weeknight dinner to throw together. And with school around the corner, this is a great lunch to send with your kids
