Poppin’ Keto Stuffed Jalapeno Chicken
Poppin’ keto stuffed jalapeno chicken came about because my husband is currently doing keto and we had chicken and jalapenos. He is currently also on a jalapeno popper kick. He brought home 24 jalapenos from the store recently so I had plenty to work with.
I thought what could I do differently with the thin sliced chicken I had and this is what I came up with. I took the thin chick and laid 3 of the pieces out in a glass Pyrex pan. I mixed together cream cheese, chopped jalapenos and shredded cheese. I spread the cream cheese mixture out on the chicken and then covered each with another piece of thin chicken. I then wrapped each of these in two pieces of thick bacon and put the whole thing in the oven for about 40 mins.
What did my husband think? He loved it!
Success!
I also paired it with three jalapeno poppers each. Click here for that recipe http://www.theclassybrokegirls.com/poppin-keto-jalapeno-poppers/
What I like about this recipe!
It is easy. It is yummy. It took the elements he loves of jalapeno poppers and put in with chicken to made a great dinner.
