BBQ Bacon Chicken Bombs

 

This is one of my all time favorite meals to grill up – BBQ Bacon Chicken Bombs.

These are so good and really easy to make. I found this recipe on Pinterest a while back and was making them with the jalapeño half per the recipe. After a few attempts, I found that chopping the jalapeño you could get better jalapeño and cheese stuffing coverage over the whole piece of chicken.

I know you guys have to wonder “what else can she stuff into chicken???”…believe it or not I could probably do a whole month worth of stuffed chicken recipes.

You definitely need to try this one but then if you need more stuffed chicken recipes, give these recipes a try – Pizza Stuffed Chicken, Chicken Kiev, Chicken Cordon Bleu Roll Ups, Stuffed Chicken Thighs with Gravy, Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken, Blue Cheese Stuffed Buffalo Chicken Meatballs.
