This Jalapeno Popper Chicken features juicy, perfectly cooked chicken breasts smothered by a melty trio of cheeses speckled with bits of thick-cut bacon and diced jalapenos. It&#39;s a crowd-pleasing chicken dinner that&#39;s also gluten-free, low-carb, and even keto-approved!

Jalapeno Popper Chicken

canola or avocado oil

Kosher salt

black pepper

jalapenos,

(8-ounce) block of cream cheese, softened

Monterey Jack cheese, separated

Mild Cheddar Cheese, separated

egg, slightly beaten

Preheat the oven to 375°F and have ready a 9x13&quot; baking dish.

Place the chicken breasts in a ziptop bag (or sandwich in between two sheets of wax paper) and pound them out one at a time using a rolling pin or mallet. Begin at the thick end, and continue until the chicken is of even thickness, about a 1/2&quot; thick.

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and transfer a work surface. Drizzle the chicken with the oil and season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub all over to adhere. Set aside.

Place a skillet over medium-high heat and bring to temperature. Add the bacon and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring often. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.

Add the chicken to the skillet (taking care not to overcrowd the pan and cooking in batches as needed) and sear for 3 minutes on one, then flip, and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to the casserole dish and set aside.

Add the diced jalapeños to the pan and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring often.

Transfer the softened jalapenos, along with the bacon to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese, 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup of Cheddar, and the egg. Use a handheld mixer at medium-high speed (or a whisk) to mix the ingredients.

Divide the mixture (about 2 large dollops) evenly over the tops of the chicken breasts. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of Monterey Jack and 1/4 cup of Cheddar. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through. Serve and enjoy!

boneless (skinless chicken breasts (patted dry))

oz block cream cheese, softened

ranch seasoning mix (half

½ cups freshly shredded Colby Jack cheese

½ cup freshly shredded pepper jack cheese

jalapeños

Salt & pepper (to taste)

Optional garnish: sliced jalapeños (fresh parsley, or extra cheese on top)

(crumbled bacon)

Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle HALF of the ranch seasoning packet evenly over the chicken. Lay them flat in the prepared baking dish.

In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, the remaining HALF of the ranch seasoning, diced jalapeños, and green chiles. Stir until smooth.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Top with Colby Jack and pepper jack cheese. If using bacon, sprinkle crumbles over the top.

Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and cheese is golden and melty.

Top with sliced jalapeños or fresh parsley. Serve hot with rice, roasted veggies, or a crisp salad.

This Jalapeño Popper Chicken has seasoned chicken smothered in a creamy Jalapeño Popper sauce with bacon and green onions. It&#039;s an easy skillet recipe and a fun dinner idea!

Jalapeño Popper Chicken

chicken broth

hot sauce

chicken bouillon cube

EACH: oregano, mustard powder, parsley, onion powder

Salt/pepper (to taste)

butter (or bacon drippings)

Jalapenos

garlic (minced)

flour

cream cheese

sour cream

cheddar cheese

bacon (roughly chopped)

green onions (sliced)

Pro Tip: Cook the bacon low and slow in a separate skillet until crispy on each side while you measure out the ingredients/prepare the dish. Consider reserving 2 tbsp. drippings to use instead of butter in the recipe. Roughly chopped once cooled.

Combine the sauce ingredients in a medium measuring cup with a spout and set aside. Measure out remaining ingredients before beginning.

Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner slices. Cover with saran wrap and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick.

Season each side of the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside.

Turn the heat off and let the pan cool. Add the butter and set the heat to medium. Add the diced jalapenos and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, stirring continuously.

Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the raw flour smell is gone.

Add the sauce mixture from step 2 in small splashes, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let the sauce cool for 1 minute.

Stir in the cream cheese and the sour cream. Once melted and combined, sprinkle in the cheddar cheese, stirring continuously.

Add the chicken back and spoon the sauce on top. Allow it to heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Top with chopped bacon and green onions. Serving options include rice, black beans, coleslaw, roasted potatoes, garlic bread, tortilla chips, corn salad, and roasted vegetables.

I made a slight variation of this recipe.  I added rice and additional chicken stock and cooked it all in one pan.  I also slightly changed the amounts of the herbs and spices based on personal preferences.  It was a hit.

Stephanie,
I have to say, I have not been steered wrong with any of your recipes! 

Thank you again!

This recipe was amazing! I did sprinkle ranch seasoning on the chicken before I cooked it…one of the best recipes I have made to date! Paired it with white rice….thank you!

This is right up my alley!  The sauce is crazy good.  To establish a “heat baseline” on my first attempt, I discarded the jalapeño membranes and seeds. Next time I will include them to make it even spicier to suit my personal taste. This sauce would be delicious served on its own as a warm dip with tortilla chips, or one could add some browned and seasoned ground beef, ground turkey, chorizo, or black beans to make it heartier. I like the sauce so much that I am tempted to eat it with a spoon!  

WOW!! This was so good. Tastes EXACTLY like a jalapeno popper! Will be making this again. Thanks for another great recipe!

This recipe was Bad A$$. I made it for me and my wife’s anniversary this past Monday night and I knocked it out of the park. I’ve made a ton of the recipes on the cozy cook and I must say the sauce in this one is amazing.. do yourself a favor. If you are reading this go to the grocery store and get the ingredients.!
