Jalapeño Cheese Stuffed Chicken
August 14, 2012
SHARK WEEK IS HERE!
I am so terrified of these creatures yet I am highly fascinated with everything to do with sharks. I blame the terrified part on my two older sisters who made me watch Jaws at the tender age of 5. This fear has been with me ever since, so when I swim in the ocean I tend to SCREAM bloody murder if the smallest piece of seaweed brushes up against my leg. I am close to being 30 years old yet I still have to look away when the Jaws movie commercials come on. WEAK…….
The big debate is “Would you get in a steel cage to check out sharks?” I feel that it would be neat and that I would be safe if I were to be in cage but what if I started to hyperventilate while under water. Can sharks smell fear because they would be all over me? I even took a scuba diving course in college to help me be more comfortable in the water. I’ve gone scuba diving once but I didn’t see any sharks thank goodness or I would have freaked out!
Please tell me that some of you possess this same fear of sharks as me. PLEASE!!!!
Well this dish is certainly not made with shark meat but rather delicious chicken. Something that I do not fear. It’s stuffed with two cheeses and jalapeno slices then wrapped and sealed with bacon. This chicken dish is definitely a big winner in our family. Ok, there may be only two of us in the Wied household but our votes come highly recommended.
ENJOY!

So I don’t eat bacon, but these look amazzzzzing. 🙂
I don’t make nearly enough stuffed chicken recipes and this recipe looks amazing! Jalapenos and cheese go in a great deal of our meals at my house and until seeing your recipe, I hadn’t thought to stuff them inside chicken. Looks perfect!
I am with you on the shark thing. I would love to go scuba diving but know once I get ‘that thought’ in my head I’d have to get out of the water right there, right then, which you can’t always do can you!
The chicken looks lovely!
Because of my limited diet I don’t eat dairy or pork often BUT gosh do these look GOOD! I’m willing to break my diet for these! LOL
We made these tonight for dinner and they were AMAZING! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I’m so glad your family enjoyed them!!! They are definitely a favorite of mine.
