Servings: 8 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise and pound thin
- 2 tablespoons Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- (3) 12 ounce packages bacon
For the Cheesy Filling
- 16 ounce cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 cups sharp shredded cheese
- 2 jalapenos, stem and seeds removed, diced
- 6 strips bacon, cooked until crispy, then crumble
- ⅓ cup sliced green onions
- 1+ cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions together until combined.
- Place the chicken breasts on parchment paper and season both sides with Cajun seasoning and pepper.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture on the chicken and roll chicken around the cheese mixture.
- Take one slice of bacon and wrap around the stuffed chicken end to end (to hold in the cheese mixture).
- Then wrap two or three more pieces around the chicken to cover it completely. Use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place.
- Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Place the bacon wrapped chicken bombs on the prepared baking sheet and wire rack.
- Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes then flip the chicken over with tongs and cook for another 1 hour and 15 minutes.

- Remove from the oven and serve with your favorite side dishes.
