BBQ Chicken Bombs

Bacon wrapped chicken breasts,
​stuffed with roasted red peppers and cilantro lime pesto
  • boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • thin cut bacon
  • roasted bell peppers
  • shredded jack cheese
  • BBQ sauce
A huge hit as a BBQ side dish, but quite often used as a main dish in our house.

start with boneless skinless chicken breasts.
​Fillet the breasts in half to get 2 somewhat thin pieces of meat.
How to fillet a chicken breast
How to pound out a chicken beast
Cover the breasts with plastic wrap and pound them out with a meat tenderizer,
or whatever other heavy flat thing you have,, until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
​Then cut into somewhat uniform strips.

Take slices of bacon and cut them in half.
Lay the end of the chicken slightly over one of the slices of bacon.
Then add a spoonful of cilantro lime pesto, a slice of roasted pepper
{ I used store bought roasted red peppers in a jar}
then a large pinch of shredded cheese and roll up the chicken
​so that the seam ends up on top of the slice of bacon

Wrap the bacon slice tightly around the chicken,
then pick it up and rotate it 90 deg. and place it on top of the other half of the bacon slice.
​ Then wrap that slice tightly around it and add a coat of BBQ rub.

Place them on the BBQ, indirect heat, at 250 - 300 deg
until they reach just below the desired internal temp.
