Hello friends! How is your summer coming along? Are you making plans to spend time with a special dad in your life on this Father’s Day?
We love to grill almost everyday in the summers, and Father’s Day is no exception. My husband is the grill master in our family, and I wanted to share with you a delicious recipe that he recently made for us. Maybe you’ll want to make it this Sunday to make your Father’s Day meal extra special.
This is jalapeno popper chicken!
If you love jalapeno poppers, then you’ll love this scrumptious main-dish version.
Start with grilled chicken breasts. Smother with seasoned cream cheese, grilled jalapenos, smoky bacon, and sharp cheddar, and you’ve got yourself a winner!
Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce. We love this Mango BBQ sauce:
And this year, we’ve eaten a lot of this delicious Keto BBQ sauce:
Grilled Jalapeno Popper Chicken
Ingredients
- boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 half per person
- jalapenos cut in half and seeded, 1 half per serving
- bacon 1 piece per serving cooked or grilled to crispness

- smoky paprika cayenne, or Tabasco for seasoning
- sharp cheddar cheese 1 slice per serving
Instructions
- Grill the chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.

- While the chicken and peppers are cooking, place the cream cheese in the microwave for about 15 seconds or until it is warm enough to spread easily. Season with smoky paprika, cayenne, or hot sauce to make it as spicy as you like!
- When chicken is cooked through, spread a few teaspoons of the cream cheese on top of each chicken breast.
- Top with one half of a jalapeno, one slice of bacon, and one slice of cheddar.
- Continue grilling with grill cover closed until the cheese is melted.

Happy Father’s Day! Whether or not we have an earthly father or a husband to celebrate, we can all celebrate and take comfort in the love of our Heavenly Father.
I John 1:3 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
