Blue Ribbon Recipe

This bacon-wrapped chicken breast is an impressive and delicious dinner. Once baked, the chicken breast is moist and filled with a delicious smoky flavor. There is a hint of spice from the pepper jack cheese and jalapeno pepper. If you like your bacon on the crispier side as we do, partially cook the bacon before wrapping it on the chicken. That gives the bacon a little crunch to contrast with the juicy chicken.
