While browsing Pinterest the other day, I came across a recipe for Grilled Bacon Jalapeno Wraps. If you know my husband, you know that this is something he would love. So, being The Good Wife that I am... I decided to make him some to welcome him home. In planning to make him those, I looked through my recipe box my momma stocked full of good recipes I rarely have time to cook and found her recipe for Chicken Breasts in Sour Cream.... aka Cordon Bleu by Momo (which it actually isn't). Anyway, long story short... I decided to cook a delicious meal of Chicken Breasts in Sour Cream, Bacon Jalapeno Wraps (for Zac... I can't handle any spice, unfortunately), fresh Green Beans, and egg noodles. While cooking, I decided to photograph the process. It was rather fun.
Preheat oven to 275 degrees |
Chop up package of lunch meat (ham) or chopped beef - thin is best, but I had this ham in the fridge that needed to be used. |
Place in bottom of a greased or sprayed oblong pan |
Place 6-8 chicken breasts on top - trim fat and poke holes in chicken |
Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of bacon |
Mix 16 ounces of sour cream (I used low fat) with 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup in separate bowl. Spread on top of chicken. |
Wrap with foil and let it cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours |
Don't forget the gloves!! |
Slice jalapenos in half length wise - remove seeds and stems (I left some seeds to increase heat... next time I will leave more) |
Don't they look pretty! |
I placed tooth picks in them to hopefully keep them together. It didn't work too well. Next time, I plan to use less thick and more flexible bacon on all of them. |
:) |
I was also worried that the tooth picks would scratch my pan. It was quite challenging. |
Here's the recipe for the Grilled Bacon Jalapeno Wraps. I cooked mine on the stove. The recipe recommends using an outside grill.... too bad it was rainy! |

Don't they look yummy! As you can tell, the cream cheese came out of the ones that did not stick together well. |
If only I could handle spicy foods... |
Only half actually turned out right - but Zac said they were delicious!! So, that's all that matters. |
Be jealous! :) |
The sauce on the chicken is delicious... and you can't beat egg noodles! |
YUMMMY!!! |
Much love,
Em
I really enjoyed your recent posts! Of course I would comment on the one about food! Mmmm, those jalapenos look yummy and my mouth is watering seeing the table set with that wonderful dinner! I have not made that chicken dish in so long! I need to make it for MoMo and PawPaw soon. I loved seeing the chronology of your & Zac's courtship and marriage. Those pictures bring back wonderful memories. This week I've thought about the good ole days of our spring break ski trips also. We didn't know how good we had it back then! Thanks for the memories, Em! Love you, mom
