INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
3 medium Jalapeño Peppers
2 slices Bacon
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Spices (garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breast with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken by baking or pan-searing until fully cooked, then dice it into small pieces.
Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes to reduce excess heat while still keeping a spicy kick.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken with the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese and a pinch more of the chosen spices.
Spoon the chicken-cheese mixture generously into each jalapeño half.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary. Lightly brush the bacon with olive oil to enhance crispiness during baking.
Place the bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is slightly melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this spicy, protein-packed dish as a fulfilling meal option.
