CAJUN CHICKEN JALAPENO POPPERS

Category: Grilled Starters

2 large, boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 tbs. or more Cajun seasoning
12 large jalapenos, cut in half, lengthwise, and seeded
Two 8 oz. packages cream cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb. bacon, cut in half, lengthwise

Cut the chicken breasts, crosswise into 1/2 inch strips, and season. Sprinkle the top of each square of cream cheese with the minced garlic.

Cut each square of cream cheese in half, lengthwise, and then cut each half into 6 pieces for a total of 12 pieces per square. Stuff each pepper with a piece of cream cheese, and press down.

Then press a chicken strip down on top of the cream cheese. Wrap each pepper with a strip of bacon and hold in place with a toothpick. On an oiled grilling surface, grill away from direct heat for about 10 minutes on each side or until bacon is cooked
