Clock

Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken tenderloins
  • 1 (1-oz) envelope taco seasoning mix
  • ¾ cup chive and onion cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sliced pickled jalapenos
  • 1 (16-oz) pkg bacon
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 Tbsp diced pickled jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Pound tenderloins to ¼-inch thickness between plastic wrap using a meat mallet. Sprinkle with seasoning.
  2. Spread about 2 tsp cream cheese over center of each tenderloin. Top with 2 to 3 pickled jalapeño slices. Roll up tenderloins to completely enclose filling.
  3. Place one filled tenderloin seam side down on end of one slice bacon. Wrap bacon around tenderloin; turn filled tenderloin, and wrap bacon around other side to completely enclose filling. Repeat with remaining filled tenderloins and bacon.
  4. Place bacon-wrapped chicken seam-sides down on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until bacon is browned and crisp.
  5. Meanwhile, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, and diced pickled jalapeños in a bowl. Serve with chicken bites for dipping.
