Jalapeno Popper Chicken
—Not On Website, Chicken
Ingredients
1.5 - 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs (slice in half lengthwise if thick)
salt and pepper
1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons milk or cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2-3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 6 slices)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mix of cheddar)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Layer chicken in a single layer in the baking dish. Season well with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, milk or cream, and garlic powder. If not room temperature enough microwave until able to stir together. Spread mixture evenly over chicken.
Sprinkle jalapeno peppers, bacon, and cheese on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove foil for the last 5 minutes of baking to melt cheese.
Notes
I'd cook the chicken first next time. It was hard to temp.
