This is Easy Because I Like to Cook

Go to Easy Peasy Default Dinner Recipe

The winner this year is Chicken Bombs. They are so good and so easy. 

10 Chicken Breast Cutlets - skinless, boneless (already thin sliced)
Sliced Bacon (I use Turkey Bacon to lighten and lean it up)
4 oz 1/3 less fat soft cream cheese
1 c. Shredded 2% milk cheddar cheese
Pickled Jalapenos
BBQ Sauce (optional)

Mix the cream cheese and the shredded cheese together in a bowl. 
Fill each cutlet with about a tablespoon (or a little bit more) of cheese, and a few sliced jalapenos (2-3). Roll the chicken around the cheese and pepper and then wrap one or two slices of bacon around and tuck them underneath. You do not need toothpicks. Place each chicken bomb on a cooking sheet (i spray mine with cooking spray just to keep any cheese from sticking). Then , if desired, baste each chicken bomb with your favorite BBQ sauce.

For oven: Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until chicken is done. Baste a couple times and finish under the broiler to set the BBQ sauce and crisp up the bacon. 

If you want to make is harder on yourself, you can buy chicken breasts, cut them in half and pound them down until they are 1/4 inch thick, but the cutlets are quicker. 
You can also add more work by using a whole jalapeno and slicing it in half. Fill the half pepper with cheese and wrap the chicken around that...that is the traditional recipe, but I am too lazy for that. 

Either way you do it, they are really the BOMB!! (heh)
