Large poblano peppers are filled with a savory BBQ chicken and cheddar mixture, then enveloped in strips of bacon before grilling to perfection. The soft, smoky chiles and bubbling cheese contrast with the crispy bacon layer. Once cooked, a drizzle of agave nectar adds a subtle sweetness, balancing the dish’s bold flavors. Use gloves to prep peppers and toothpicks to secure bacon during cooking. For best results, select plump peppers for easier stuffing. Enjoy these as a satisfying main at barbecues or family gatherings, keeping leftovers for next-day lunches.
