Jalapeño Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Tenders

Ingredients:

• 10 chicken tenders, butterflied

• 1 brick of cream cheese (8 oz)

• 1 brick of Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (8 oz)

• 2 cups of mixed greens, chopped

• 1 pound jalapeño bacon

• Toothpicks

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the cream cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and chopped mixed greens until well combined.

3. Butterfly the Chicken: Carefully butterfly each chicken tender by slicing them in half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.

4. Stuff the Chicken: Spoon the cheese and greens mixture into the center of each butterflied chicken tender. Fold the chicken back over to enclose the filling.

5. Wrap with Bacon: Wrap each stuffed chicken tender with a strip of jalapeño bacon, securing it with toothpicks as needed to keep the bacon in place.

6. Bake: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.

7. Serve: Serve the chicken tenders hot, alongside a side of green beans or your favorite vegetable.
