My bad – 1) I’m terrible at saving recipes, and 2) for recipes that I do keep/write down, I started keeping them in Google Docs. Honestly, I’m only writing here again so that each recipe can have a dedicated URL for importing into MyFitnessPal.
POLLO BITES
My version of an appetizer from BB’s Tex-Orleans. FYI, for this recipe, I have no idea what the actual ingredient measurements are – I just start with the chicken and go with it.
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced into strips and flattened (don’t make the strips too narrow, you need enough to roll/fold them over)
- 6 Tbsp. cream cheese, softened
- 4 jalapenos, cut into narrow strips
- 8 slices bacon (more than you think)
- Salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 400.
- S&P both sides of the chicken pieces.
- Spread cream cheese on each chicken piece.
- Make a line of jalapeno strips in the middle of each chicken piece.
- Roll/fold over the chicken pieces so you have a bunch of chicken rolls.
- Wrap the chicken rolls tightly in bacon all the way down.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until the top of the bacon is crisped up.
- Flip each chicken roll over and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until those bottom sides are crisped up.
- Slice into bite-sized pieces.
