This idea started as stuffed chicken breasts with jalapenos, cream cheese, cheese, jalapeno seasoning, and bacon. It keeps morphing.

Steps

1

Cut the chicken into bite sized chunks and place in a gallon sized ziploc baggie. Add a cup of Ranch Dressing to baggie. Zip and massage the ranch to coat the chicken. Refrigerate.
2

Whip sauce ingredients together with hand mixer until well combined and there are no individual chunks.
3

Dump Chicken with the ranch into aluminum roaster pan. Spread cream cheese mixture on top of the chicken.
4

Place in heated electric smoker, or oven. For the first time we decided to smoke it with hard wood Mesquite chips. Stir carefully. Cook until Chicken is at least 160°F internally. I am debating on topping with more cheese and sliced Jalapenos. Slow smoked for about 5 hours.

Tips

The sauce looked really watery the first two times we stirred it. Slow smoking it gave it more of the smoky flavor I was after. I would also bake in the oven.
