Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Chicken

Serve it with fiesta lime rice, cilantro lime rice or a two bean salad or black bean cucumber salad on the side to make it a meal.

For this recipe, I basically deconstructed my jalapeño poppers and stuffed them into chicken and the results where mouth watering!! Now updated to include Air Fryer directions!

Variations and Tips:

Use panko in place of breadcrumbs for a crunchier texture. To make this gluten-free, use gluten-free panko. To make them mild, take out the jalapeno seeds and membranes. To make them spicy, leave them in.

What happens when you combine Skinny Baked Jalapeño Poppers with chicken?? Oh yeah baby!! Cheesy stuffed chicken breast stuffed with diced jalapeño, cream cheese, cheddar jack cheese, scallions and bacon! Ingredients: 2 slices center cut bacon, cooked and crumbled 3 jalapeños, chopped (remove seeds for milder) 3 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened 4 oz reduced fat shredded cheddar jack (Sargento) 2 tbsp chopped scallions 8 thin sliced skinless chicken breast cutlets, 3 oz each 1/2 cup Italian seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs (or GF crumbs) 1 1/2 juicy limes, juice of 1 tbsp olive oil salt and fresh pepper olive oil non-stick spray Directions: Wash and dry chicken cutlets, season with salt and pepper.  Preheat oven to 450°F.

Lay chicken cutlets on a working surface and spread 2 tbsp of cream cheese mixture on each cutlet. Loosely roll each one, secure the ends with toothpicks to prevent the cheese from oozing out. Place breadcrumbs in a bowl; in a second bowl combine olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Dip chicken in lime-oil mixture, then in breadcrumbs and place seam side down on a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining chicken. When finished, lightly spray the top of the chicken with oil spray. Bake 22-25 minutes, serve immediately.
