INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 large Egg
1 ounce Low-Fat Cream Cheese
2 Jalapeños
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove seeds if you prefer a milder heat.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Carefully fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, wide enough to wrap around the filled jalapeños.
Wrap each cream cheese-filled jalapeño with a chicken strip, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth. In another bowl, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Dip each wrapped popper into the egg wash, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
Place the poppers on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray or brush with a small amount of oil if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
