INGREDIENTS
6 medium Jalapeño Peppers
2 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low-Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Egg whites from 2 eggs
2 oz Cooked Chicken Breast, diced
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
Seasonings: Salt, Garlic Powder, Smoked Paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder heat, or leave some seeds in if you desire extra spice.
In a bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, egg whites, and diced cooked chicken breast. Mix until thoroughly blended. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Spoon the cheese and chicken mixture generously into each jalapeño half.
Lightly press whole wheat breadcrumbs on top of the filling to create a crispy coating.
Place the filled jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-18 minutes, or until the filling is set and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, spicy, protein-packed jalapeño poppers!
