Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Cooked shredded chicken
- 0.333 cup Buffalo sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 slices Bacon, sliced in half
- to taste Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash and dry the jalapeños. Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes to reduce the heat level. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture, packing it in tightly but ensuring the filling stays level with the pepper.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with a half-slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick, if necessary.
Place the stuffed jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the filling is bubbly and golden.
Allow the poppers to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping, if desired.
