For a milder flavor, remove the membranes from the jalapenos along with the seeds. If you don't have roasting string, you can use wooden skewers to hold the bacon in place. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or barbecue sauce to customize the flavor to your liking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat a gas grill for medium heat (350 degrees F (175 degrees C)), or arrange charcoal briquettes on one side of the barbeque. Lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)
02
StepSlice chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag, seal, and pound to 1/4-inch thickness with a meat mallet. Season with salt and pepper. (10 minutes)
03
StepMix Monterey Jack cheese and cream cheese together in a bowl until well combined. Fill jalapeno halves with cheese mixture, using about 1 tablespoon in each one. (15 minutes)
04
StepPlace 1 stuffed jalapeno with the cheese side down in the middle of each chicken breast half; fold into a pouch. Wrap each chicken breast completely with three pieces of bacon, overlapping slightly. Tie securely 4 ways with roasting string to maintain their shape. (15 minutes)
05
StepCook on the preheated grill over indirect heat, turning every 5 minutes and basting with barbecue sauce, until juices run clear and the bacon is crisp, about 30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). (30 minutes)
