Jalapeño Bombs

These are a family favorite! Smoky bacon, spicy peppers and juicy chicken - YUM! The first time I had them was at a friend's house, her mom had made them. And she couldn't cook them fast enough! I instantly fell in love and have been making them myself ever since! The spicy pepper with the cool ranch is pure heaven!! If jalapeños aren't your thing, you can quarter a bell pepper and use that instead! These are great appetizers for a party but we like to cook up a bunch as a main dish all the time!

Assembling these can get a bit slippery and tricky! Using kitchen gloves (especially since you are handling spicy peppers!) helps and so does having an assembly line set up!!

Jalapeño Bombs 

6 large jalapeños

6 chicken tenders (or 2 breasts cut into 12 pieces)

1T season salt.

12 onion pieces

6 slices of bacon

ranch dressing for serving

Slice the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Cut the chicken tenders in half. Sprinkle with the season salt. Cut the strips of bacon in half. Take a pepper piece, add an onion slice and then a piece of chicken. Wrap the entire thing in a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining peppers. Grill over medium high heat until bacon and chicken are cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Serve with ranch dressing.
