INGREDIENTS

  • Boneless Skinless chicken thighs
  • Jalapenos
  • bacon
  • sea salt, Black Pepper, Cayenne

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Cut Chicken and jalapenos

    Cut the chicken up into little bite sized pieces. Slice the jalapenos down the middle and pull out the seeds and stem. Slice into slivers.

    Since we are going with a fatty chicken meat here, Source Matters. Get your chicken pastured and you can reap the benefits of a favorable fat profile and increased nutrient density!

  • Wrap with bacon

    Place a sliver of jalapeno on the chicken and wrap with piece of bacon. The sides that fold over should be tucked on the bottom and placed on a cooking sheet. If you’re smart in this step you’ll use tin foil to line the baking sheet to save quite some time in the clean up phase!

  • Season

    Sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper and some cayenne pepper. OR use whatever seasoning you want. Your choice!

  • Bake

    Toss in the oven at 350 for around 45-55 minutes, depending on how thick you ended up cutting the chicken. Slice a piece in half when you think they are done and you should see no more pink meat and clear juices. Time to feast.
