http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/...a-8445e5558480

Ingredients

12
wooden toothpicks
4
oz (half of 8-oz package) cream cheese, softened
2
tablespoons chopped fresh chives or finely chopped green onions

jalapeño chiles (2 to 3 inch), halved lengthwise, seeded
4
slices bacon

Directions

chile halves.

I have someone in the family for whom a jalapeno appetizer like that
wouldn't work (the jalapenos give him heartburn). However, I've made
something similar where you wrap a piece of chicken with bacon and
grill or broil until the chicken is cooked and the bacon is crispy.
I've also discovered that good old Trader Joe's Sweet Chili Sauce is
the perfect dipping sauce for it.

I would half-cook the bacon before wrapping
the chicken, otherwise too much fat will
come off the bacon, and the chicken will be
overcooked before the bacon is crispy.

Works with prawns too. I haven't tried it
with chunks of turkey breast, but the fat
from the bacon would help enrich that
seriously dry meat.

Agree and that's what I do, but I doubt most people do - in fact, I
thought I was the only one.
>

My son wraps shrimp with raw bacon and cooks them on the bbq.
Somehow, the bacon ends up crispy and the shrimp is not over cooked in
the process. I'd probably end up with limp bacon and overcooked
shrimp if I tried doing it that way.

Not a turkey fan, so I wouldn't even consider trying it. Once a year
at Thanksgiving is enough for me.

When you do that chicken, follow with a basting of good old sorghum - it
makes the whole thing better.

Next best and lower fat alternative, wrap with prosciutto and baste with
olive oil.

I think that would be a great idea for oven preparation - I doubt it
would need any olive oil although it probably wouldn't hurt either.

I've never tasted sorghum, but I hear it's sweet. Sweet, salty and
spicy make a great combination.

Think of it as a very much lighter flavored molasses, which basically it is.

It's a wonderful combination I assure you.

The only time I've used prosciutto with a lot of heat is on pizza and
it gets very crispy without being brushed with olive oil. In fact, my
intuition tells me it would take longer to crisp up if it was lubed
with oil. I still think it's a good idea and will use it for my fat
phobic hubby the next time I do something like that.

I'll try it sometime. A lot of those recipes call for brown sugar but
I'm not interested in doing that, however brushing with sorghum or
maybe even agave might work for me. I have agave on hand, so I should
try that next time.

That's actually hard to believe. Normally you would cook the bacon
until almost done, then wrap the raw shrimp with it. The only way I
can imagine that he pulls that off would be to put the wrapped shrimp
on *extemely* high grill heat. Maybe the extreme heat would sear the
bacon before overcooking the shrimp.

I'm testifying to the fact. I don't cook 'em, I just eat them. It's
an appetizer, so I suppose he uses the coals when they are at their
hottest.

It will crisp on its own, but it can fall apart too.

One of those things where the grill wins if you don't lube the food.
