This is a family favorite and it’s simple to make.

You’ll Need:

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Cream cheese (softened)

Diced jalapeños (fresh or jarred)

Cheddar cheese shredded

Cajun seasoning

Mix cream cheese, jalapeños, and cheddar and put in fridge to cool while you prep thighs.

For the thighs you want to flatten them out by using a meat tenderizer or rolling pin. I wrap them in Saran Wrap and pound them with a meat tenderizer.

Once you have thighs prepped sprinkle each side with Cajun seasoning to your taste. Then spoon the cream cheese mixture into on the thigh and roll it. Wrap with bacon and set on raised rack. Bake at 350 for approximately 30 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees.

Notes:

How much jalapeño and cheese is purely preference and how much cream cheese mixture you need depends on how many and how big thighs are. This is a “wing it” type of recipe but is hard to mess up.

Some thighs may require up to 3 pieces of bacon to fully wrap the thigh. It all depends on the size of the thigh.
