Equipment

  • outdoor smoker
  • toothpicks

Ingredients

  • 6 thin sliced chicken breasts
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 poblano pepper large, diced
  • 1 C pepper jack cheese shredded
  • 16 oz bacon
  • BBQ rub or seasonings of choice

Instructions

  • Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees.
  • Lay chicken breasts out on a cutting board and season with rub or seasonings of choice. 
  • In a medium mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, poblano pepper, and pepper jack cheese. Mix with a spoon until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Spoon mixture evenly onto each chicken breast. Roll the chicken up and secure together with a toothpick. 
  • Wrap each chicken breast with 2-3 pieces of bacon and tuck in the ends.
  • Place on the smoker grates and close the lid. Smoke for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until the bacon is cooked and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees. 

Notes

Notes: I used the whole package of bacon. So some pieces have 2 pieces of bacon, some may have 3. Place a pan on the bottom rack of the smoker under chicken as it cooks so the cheese doesn't drip down.
