Bacon wrapped Jalapeno Chicken

Happy Tuesday Friends!

I finally had the chance to cook something Blog-worthy.

My husband is Jalapeno and Bacon obsessed and this meal is just perfect.

I've made few Bacon wrapped recipes and this is definitely a good one.

Especially with the Cream Sauce. 

Optional, You can bake it in the oven for 350 for 15-20 minutes for additional goodness.

It makes the cream more thicker and if you want to make sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked

then baking it is the best.

Enjoy!!!
