Make the bacon anyway you want. Once nice and crispy, let cool then crumble into bacon bits. Pour them into a bowl and set aside.
Clean the jalapeno pepper by cleaning out the seeds and ribs to take out the heat. Finely chop the jalapeno and chives (or green onion if using).
Get out a large mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese and cooked chopped chicken. Use a large fork and mix the chicken into the softened cream cheese as best as you can.
Then add the cheddar cheese, hot sauce, jalapeno and chives. Mix well so everything is incorporated.
Get out a large piece of plastic wrap and scoop the cheese mixture onto it. Wrap up and form into a cheese ball. You an also use your hands but it's messy.
Put the ball into the bowl with the bacon bits and roll it around to coat the whole ball with bacon.
Refrigerate until ready to eat. Serve with low carb crackers or celery sticks and raw veggies. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
