Instructions

Make a vertical slit on one side of each finger chili. Scrape off the seeds and core; discard.
Insert a cheese stick inside a finger chili and wrap chili tightly with a bacon slice. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Make the marinara sauce: Sauté garlic and onion in olive oil; do not brown. Add tomatoes and chicken
