Dinner Poppers

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain.
2. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown tenderloins on both sides. Cool slightly.
3. Carefully cut a slit down the side of each pepper and remove the seeds. Fill each with 1 tenderloin; top each with 2 tablespoons cheese and a strip of cream cheese. Close peppers; wrap with bacon and secure with toothpicks.
4. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet, slit side up. Top with remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese; bake until cheese is browned and peppers are tender, 25-30 minutes. Remove toothpicks before serving.
