Cheesy Jalapeño Popper Baked Stuffed Chicken


What happens when you combine Skinny Baked Jalapeño Poppers[1] with chicken??

Oh yeah baby!! Cheesy stuffed chicken breast stuffed with diced jalapeño, cream cheese, cheddar jack cheese, scallions and bacon!

I basically deconstructed my jalapeño poppers and stuffed them into chicken and the results where mouth watering!! I used bread crumbs because I was out of panko, but I think seasoned panko would give these a wonderful crunch like I used on my Skinny Baked Jalapeño Poppers[2].

I made the serving size a generous two pieces, so a simple vegetable, fiesta lime rice[3], or a salad on the side would make this a complete meal. Trust me, you won't want to stop at just one!

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.
