Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Cutting at a slight angle, cut 6 slits into each chicken breast, making sure not to cut all the the way through (the breast should remain attached at the bottom by roughly a thickness of 1/4 inch). Sprinkle each chicken breast with some salt and pepper or Seasoned Salt or all-purpose seasoning of choice (Creole Seasoning makes another good choice for this flavor combo). You should have 24 pieces of cheese and 24 pieces of bacon or ham. Place a piece of cheese into each slit followed by a piece of bacon/ham (fold in half to fit if needed) and a pickled jalapeno slice.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a lightly greased casserole dish and bake until the an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken breast registers 165 F, roughly 20-25 minutes. Serve with a green salad or veggie of choice for a delicious low-carb meal or, if you want to bulk it up, add a carb of your choice (e.g., roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, or seasoned rice). *See blog post or freezing instructions
