Armadillo Eggs with Chicken and Bacon

Category: Dinners

SERVES 6 -8

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breasts
2 lbs bacon
1 lb fresh jalapeno
Toothpciks


Directions:

1) You will need toothpicks for this. The strong kind don't break as easy. Soak toothpicks in water for about 30 minutes.

2) First you will need to cut jalapenos lengthwise in half and remove seeds. You can use canned jalapenos (drain well).

3) Flatten chicken to about 1" and cut into 4-6 pieces (enough to roll over a jalapeno half). Season with whatever seasonings you prefer.

4) Take a chicken piece, roll it around a jalapeno half, then roll 1 slice of bacon over top and secure with a toothpick. This may take a while; you can do this the night before you grill or bake them.

5) Cook on grill until bacon is crisp and chicken is cooked through. Or bake these in the oven at 350 for about 45 minutes.

7) If you have extra jalapenos left over, you can always grill them.
