Chicken Texan Style

By Maggie M. from All Recipes.com
This chicken can be spicy or mild but whichever way you choose it is definitely born in Texas! Add avocado, black olives or pico de gallo to the inside of the breasts for variation. For milder tastes, remove seeds from jalapenos
((Best sure to pre-cook the bacon otherwise it will not crisp. I had to put it under the broiler so will be pre-cooking it nx time !!!!)))



Ingredients
4 boneless skinless,chicken breast halves, butterflied
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, sliced
4 jalapeno peppers, chopped( seeded )
1 (1 ounce) package dry Ranch-style dressing mix
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
8 slices bacon

Directions
1.Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)while it is preheating
Then place the 8 slices of bacon in Microwave and partially cook and set aside.. Clean the seeds out of the Jalapeno to control the HEAT of the dish
2.Lay the chicken breasts out flat and sprinkle with Ranch-style dressing mix. Sprinkle a bit of cheese onto each half of each breast. Place 2 tomato slices and a sliced jalapeno pepper onto each one, and sprinkle more cheese over the tomato and pepper. Fold each piece of chicken over, and wrap with 2 slices of pre cooked bacon. Secure with toothpicks.
Place wrapped chicken into a baking dish, and cover with aluminum foil.
3.Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the chicken is no longer pink, and the juices run clear. If bacon isn't crisp enough for you place under the broiler before serving.

Darn...LOL wish I had some chicken in the freezer. That sounds very tasty and simple to boot. One of those meals you wonder why you didn't think of it.
