Step 1

Pre heat the BBQ to 375F/190C. For this cook, Im using my Traeger Timberline 850.

Step 2

To a bowl, add the cream cheese, mozzarella and chicken rub, mixing well to combine. Add to a zip lock bag or piping bag and remove any air.

Step 3

Slice the top of the jalapeños off and discard any pith & seeds. Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the chillies cavity until full.

Step 4

Butterfly the chicken breasts and season with chicken rub. Add a dollop of the leftover cream cheese mixture to the middle followed by the popper.

Step 5

Roll the chicken breasts back together tight, then wrap in 3-4 strips of streaky bacon. Secure with a couple of tooth picks.

Step 6

Season again with chicken rub, then place into a preheated bbq at 375F, cooking until they r each an internal temp of 165F. Around 45 minutes depending on how big the chicken breasts are.

Rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Watch out for the oozing cheese.
