- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Jalapeños: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully blended.
- Stuff the Jalapeños: Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño half with the chicken and cheese mixture, packing it in neatly.
- Bake the Poppers: Place the stuffed jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm for a delicious appetizer.
