Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 1 lime
- 1 jalapeno sliced
- 10 stalks asparagus trimmed
- 4 strips bacon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the grill to medium heat (375–400 °F).
- Use a sharp knife to slice each chicken breast horizontally, creating a pocket deep enough to hold the fillings but still leaving it mostly intact.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over both sides of each chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Into each breast, place several jalapeño slices and 4–5 asparagus stalks.
- Wrap each stuffed breast in 2 strips of bacon, wrapping snugly. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar evenly over the bacon-wrapped chicken.
- Insert a barbecue skewer lengthwise through the entire bundle. Cook for about 25 minutes, turning once or twice, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F (74 °C) and the bacon is crispy.
- Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This keeps the juicy, flavorful filling intact.
