Prep 15 min · Cook 20 min

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to carefully scrape out the seeds and white membranes, wearing gloves if your skin is sensitive to spice.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the hollowed-out jalapeño halves, pressing down slightly to ensure they are full.
Place the stuffed peppers on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each one.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.
