Cheddar Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken Breasts


4 large chicken breasts
12 oz shredded cheddar cheese
2 jalapenos
1/4 cup tomatoes dried by the sun
4 strips thick cut bacon
salt and pepper

Season breasts with salt and pepper.
Mince jalapenos, chop tomatoes, mix with cheddar cheese.
Cut a pocket into each chicken breast and fill with cheese mixture.
Set filled chicken breasts in greased baking pan.
Cut bacon strips in half crosswise and lay two pieces over each chicken breast.
Bake at 350º for 50 to 60 minutes (internal temperature of breasts should be 180º)

Remove from oven and serve.

There will be a lot of juice from the chicken and the cheese. I ladle some of this over the breasts before serving.
