Oooey gooey, spicy, creamy, tasty yumminess! My husband went NUTS for this Jalapeño Popped Stuffed Chicken a 30 minute flavor bomb!  Cream cheese, chopped jalapeño and cheddar stuffed into chicken!

You can adjust the heat by adjusting the amount of jalapeño   I used two large peppers, but I’m a hottie, what can I say?

 Most of the heat of a pepper is in the seeds and veins,  once removed you get a nice mellow heat, coupled with the creamy cheese it’s a soft burn you won’t mind having.

Jalapeños on a cutting board getting ready to be sliced. Removed the seeds fully for less heat.

We chop the jalapeño on the small side so there isn’t too much heat in one bite.

I wouldn’t lie if I said I took a few, okay, a lot of bites of the Jalapeno Popper filling mixture. Guys…it’s just so good.  And if you have left over filling, just put it in a ramekin and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes and you got some killer dip!

Simply slice the chicken open without going all the way through and stuff, stuff, stuff with your yummy cream cheese mixture!

Oh boy, these raw chicken pic’s are well…kinda awkward….

Next step is to dip your chicken in the egg. Roll it around good…cover that whole thing!

Now roll it in the bread crumbs….all of it!  Cover the cream cheese filling as well as the chicken.  This helps hold all that yummy stuff inside!

NOTE: panko crumbs, regular bread crumbs or a mixture of both will work.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked to a perfect temp of 165 degrees.
