Instructions
Preheat grill to 375°F (190°C).
Mix salt, onion powder, garlic, and paprika together. Sprinkle evenly onto chicken breast.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from pan and reduce heat to medium-low.
Add chicken breast to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let cool.
While the chicken cools, slice jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds.
Dice cooled chicken into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss diced chicken in buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
Fill each jalapeño half with cream cheese.
Top each cream cheese-filled jalapeño with about 1 tablespoon of diced chicken, pressing slightly into the cream cheese.
Crumble bacon and sprinkle on top of each jalapeño.
Place prepared jalapeños on a cookie sheet and transfer to the preheated grill. Cook for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from grill and serve.
