Preheat the Smoker: Start by preheating your smoker to 250°F. This setting is crucial for getting that delicious smoky flavor into your chicken.

Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Create Pockets in the Chicken: Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through; this pocket will hold your jalapeno goodness!

Stuff with Jalapenos: Take each halved jalapeno and fill it with the creamy cheese mixture. Next, place one stuffed jalapeno inside each chicken breast pocket.

Wrap It Up: After stuffing, wrap each chicken breast with two slices of your choice of bacon and secure with toothpicks. This adds a satisfying crispiness to your dish.

Smoke the Chicken Bombs: Finally, place the stuffed chicken bombs in your preheated smoker and let them cook for 2-3 hours. You’ll know they’re ready when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the exterior is crispy.

Let Them Rest: Once cooked, remove them from the smoker, let them rest for a few minutes, and prepare for a taste explosion!
