Oven Baked Jalapeño & Pepper Jack Stuffed Chicken Breast Wrapped in Bacon

Step 1: Thaw and Prepare

Firstly, your mouthwatering Jalapeño & Pepper Jack Stuffed Chicken Breast Wrapped in Bacon from the Oven Grillers family needs thawing. This process can be done easily in your refrigerator. Once it’s ready, unpack your flavorful delight.

Step 2: Preheat Your Oven

Embrace the warmth. Preheat your oven to 375°F. As the oven prepares itself, you do the same by placing your tantalizing chicken breast, now free from its package, on an oven-safe non-stick pan.

Step 3: Bake it until Tender

Proceed by placing your pan with the exceptionally embellished chicken into the preheated oven and let it cook for 25-30 minutes. Your chicken will be ready when it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F. Keep in mind that your oven may be a speed demon, or a gentle sloth; adjust your cooking time accordingly.

Cooking Tip: If you want your chicken to be extra juicy, wrap it in aluminum foil for the first 15 minutes of cooking. This will allow it to bathe in its own delicious juices.

Step 4: Cool Off and Chow Down

Remember, good things (and food) come to those who wait. Rest your chicken for a moment before diving in.

Air Fryer Jalapeño & Pepper Jack Stuffed Chicken Breast Wrapped in Bacon

Step 1: Thaw and Prep

Introduce a heatwave of flavor to your dinner table with a Jalapeño & Pepper Jack Stuffed Chicken Breast Wrapped in Bacon from the Oven Grillers. This tantalizing entree begins its journey from your refrigerator, where it should thaw completely before cooking. Once completely thawed, carefully remove it from its package.

Step 2: Preheat Air Fryer

For quick and evenly cooked results, we’re using an air fryer for these chicken breasts. So, warm up your air fryer to 370°F, which is the perfect temperature for a crispy, yet juicy stuffed chicken breast.

Step 3: Cook & Cover

Arrange the chicken in a non-stick or sprayed pan that fits into your air fryer. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165° is reached. These temperatures ensure your chicken is thoroughly cooked and safe to eat, but if your air fryer tends to cook quickly, monitor the cooking process to avoid overcooking.

Cooking Tip: To seal in that spicy, cheesy, bacon-ey goodness, loosely cover the chicken with aluminium foil halfway through cooking. This helps to retain moisture and keeps your chicken tender on the inside while crispy on the outside.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

Air frying retains heat, so allow your chicken to cool for a minute or two before serving. This lets the juices settle back into the meat so it’s extra flavorful and juicy when you bite into it.

Spice things further by platting your Jalapeño & Pepper Jack Stuffed Chicken Breast alongside a refreshing cilantro-lime rice, or a crunchy southwestern salad. Simply prep your accompaniment while the chicken is cooking. You can even air fry tortilla strips for the salad together with the chicken in the last few minutes for a quick and efficient meal.

Presentation is key, so decorate your serving plate with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, or some crushed tortilla chips for that extra touch of flavor and texture. Dig into this fiery and satisfying dish that takes you on a flavor journey from the comfort of your own home. Bon appetit!
