HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN STUFFED JALAPENOS?

The fact that I like spicy foods comes as no surprise to anybody. It’s the language of love for me. When it comes to entertaining, simple appetizers are my favorite thing to make. I like having friends and family around for dinner and cooking for them, but I also want to be able to enjoy their company rather than being confined to the kitchen for the duration of the gathering. Consequently, between my love of spice and my desire to entertain, these Chicken Stuffed Jalapeños are a hit. Making these together as a family was a lot of fun.

These amazing Chicken Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers, which are inspired by one of my favorite appetizers in Belize, will take our low-carb Jalapeño Popper game to a whole new level! Goodness, it’s cheesy, spicy, chicken-ey, and soo delicious!
These chicken-filled jalapeño poppers are a delicious appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed all year long! They are simple to prepare and are a favorite with the crowds, particularly on game days!

This version of jalapeños has not just cream cheese, as you’re used to seeing, but also seasoned shredded chicken, which I’d never seen before in the United States. The concept of adding protein to poppers is one I can get behind since it not only tastes delicious but also makes them more full and gratifying by adding extra protein to them.
