Irresistible Smoked Jalapeno Popper Chicken Bombs

Smoked jalapeno popper chicken bombs combine spicy jalapenos, creamy cheese, and tender chicken for a flavorful appetizer that elevates any gathering.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 jalapenos
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Bacon weave optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
  • Prepare the jalapenos by slicing them in half and removing seeds and membranes.
  • In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Stuff each halved jalapeno with the cheese mixture evenly.
  • Take the chicken breasts and flatten them to about 1/2 inch thick using a meat mallet.
  • Wrap each stuffed jalapeno with a flattened chicken breast, securing it with toothpicks if necessary.
  • If using a bacon weave, carefully wrap the chicken bombs with the weave to completely encase them.
  • Place the chicken bombs in the smoker and cook for about 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Once cooked, remove from the smoker and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve your smoked jalapeno popper chicken bombs warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
