Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Chicken
- 2 whole Jalapeno Peppers
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 1- 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
- 4 whole Chicken Breasts
- 1- 1/2 cup Italian Breadcrumbs
- Oil For Cooking
- Finely (finely!)
- dice the jalapenos.
- I use a food processor.
- Combine the jalapenos with the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Set aside.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large zip top bag and use a meat tenderizer or large pan to flatten the chicken.
- You want these very thin.
- After you pound the chicken, take one breast and place it on a cutting board.
- Spoon 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture onto the chicken and flatten with your hand.
- Roll the chicken up and press gently so it stays together.
- Roll in the breadcrumbs.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and preheat a skillet on medium heat.
- Drizzle skillet with olive or canola oil.
- Place the chicken into the pan.
- Brown every side except the one that has the seam.
- You dont want the cheese to burn.
- After you have browned each side of the chicken, place in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked.
- Enjoy!
- Note that using 2 jalapeno peppers does not make this recipe spicy at all!
- You can taste the flavor of the jalapeno but not the spice.
- If you want it to be spicy, I suggest adding an additional pepper.
