Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Thighs Smothered and Stuffed with Awesome Recipe

Ingredients

12 spears asparagus

1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

4 skinless

boneless chicken thighs

4 extra-thick bacon slices

kitchen string

2 tablespoons butter

divided

2 jalapeno peppers - stemmed

seeded

and minced

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups warm milk

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Trim asparagus spears to extend 1 inch past each side of the thighs.

Step 3

Place 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese into a bowl.

Step 4

Lay chicken thighs flat on a work surface. Place 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese on each thigh followed by 3 asparagus spears. Roll thigh around stuffing; wrap 1 bacon slice around each thigh. Tie a 12-inch length of string around the bacon ensuring bacon ends are secured. Place stuffed thighs in the lined pan.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 6

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; add jalapenos. Cook stirring regularly until juices have evaporated 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining butter melt completely about 1 minute. Stir in flour until it starts to brown 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in warm milk 1/3 cup at a time mixing completely after each addition.

Step 7

Bring milk mixture to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer stirring occasionally until sauce thickens about 7 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Add remaining mozzarella cheese stir gently to incorporate into sauce.

Step 8

Cut strings from thighs and smother with sauce.
