• To a bowl, add the cream cheese, mozzarella and chicken rub, mixing well to combine. Add to a zip lock bag or piping bag and remove any air.
• Slice the top of the jalapeños off and discard any pith & seeds. Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the chillies cavity until full.
• Butterfly the chicken breasts and season with chicken rub. Add a dollop of the leftover cream cheese mixture to the middle followed buy the popper.
• Roll the chicken breasts back together tight, then wrap in 3-4 strips of streaky bacon. Secure with a couple of tooth picks.
• Season again with chicken rub, then place into a preheated bbq at 375F, cooking until they reach an internal temp of 165F. Around 45 minutes. The cooking time will depend on how big the chicken breasts are.
