Chicken Bombs

Toxarch

I don't post many food pics but thought I should share something. Haven't made chicken bombs in a long time so I figured now is a good time and took some pics to share. Don't think I've seen these on here before.

So what's a chicken bomb? Well it's like an ABT, but that is wrapped in chicken and then wrapped in bacon. I do Italian sausage, Colby jack, and whipped cream cheese in the jalapeño. 

Filet the chicken breast open and then pound flat between 2 saran wrap sheets.

This is one breast pounded out:

I went with 2 jalapeño halves in each. Made 6 chicken bombs and froze 4 for later. I skip some pictures here since it's kinda messy taking pictures. Wrap it like a burrito and then wrapped in bacon. Took 3 slices of bacon on these. Use toothpicks if you want, I found twine to be easier. Seasoned with Dizzy Pig Raging River (I think that's the right name). Sauced with Blue's Hog near the end.

Cook at 375 for about 35-40 minutes, rotating regularly and baste with BBQ sauce near the end. I mostly pay attention to the internal temp getting to 160. I used some apple wood chunks for smoke. Next time I'll cook at a lower grate level. The bacon did not crisp up properly but it was still good. 

Au gratin potatoes on the side and bread. Hope you enjoyed the pics.

That is a braided heat shield that I applied. It was recommended by someone on this forum. Does a great job protecting the Stoker probe wires (that like to melt) from heat and IR radiation. Wish it was a smaller diameter and the heat shrink tubing that comes with it doesn't last, but the braid still does the job just fine.

Toxarch..thanks...pretty expensive. I looked at several others...all cost a lot.

How many feet was your minimum order? Would you consider selling a few feet?

I appreciate the link !!

Amazon sells it in 25' lengths. Not sure how much I have left, shared some with friends and I am out of the shrink tubing. You might try a local auto parts store and see if they sell by the foot. I believe this is commonly used for wrapping automotive wires like spark plug wires.

This is my version.  I'm growing Serranos and used those.  Thanks again for sharing!

does each pounded chicken breast make 1 or did you cut the breasts??  They look great.

BrueggeDad

I started out cutting in half but that made it too small.  It depends on the size of the breast.

I butterfly the breast and then pound them out. Each breast piece made one. I've done it with 1/2 breast and half a jalapeño but they end up small and really thin meat.

looks great. 

I do 5 or 6 at a time and then vacuum seal the extras and freeze them. So adjust the recipe.

1/2 - 1 pound of ground mild Italian sausage (brown in a pan). I use a 1/2 package of Johnsons sausage from the store.
4 Oz cream cheese, softened (they sell a whipped version that makes it easier to use)
1 Cup grated Colby jack cheese (any cheese flavor you want really)
6 jalapeños
