Description
- Discover how to make Grilled Stuffed Jalapeños with Bacon, Chicken, and Cheese for a flavorful, crowd-pleasing snack
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 fresh jalapeños
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 pound bacon
- 8 oz cream cheese (one block)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons hot honey seasoning or rub
Instructions
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs. Season them with your hot honey rub or seasoning of choice.
- Grill the chicken over direct heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Once done, remove the chicken and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.
- After the chicken has rested, chop both the chicken and the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, bacon, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and mayonnaise. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
- Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and cores.
- Stuff each jalapeño half with the chicken and cheese mixture, packing it in tightly.
- Arrange the stuffed jalapeños on an oiled wire rack.
- Preheat the smoker to 250°F and place the rack with the jalapeños inside. Smoke for 30 minutes, or until the jalapeños soften.
- Once done, remove the jalapeños from the smoker and drizzle with hot honey. Garnish with chopped chives for extra flavor and presentation.
