BUFFALO CHICKEN JALAPENO POPPERS



Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Poppers image

This recipe was featured on the Rachel Ray show in October, 2009 as a quick and healthier version of the traditional popper. It's a very spicy, yet savory version of the appetizer. The original recipe calls for 18-20 jalapeno peppers, but I just used 10 and cut them in half to use both halves to fill. It also called for rotisserie chicken, but I substituted with chicken breast to cut down on cost and time.

Provided by CrunkFrack

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 35m

Yield 20 poppers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 jalapeno peppers
1/3 cup hot sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups boneless skinless chicken breasts, shredded
1 celery rib, finely chopped
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup blue cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  • Working lengthwise, slice each jalapeno in half. Scrape the seeds and ribs out of each jalapeño.
  • Place a small saucepot over low heat. Add hot sauce and whisk in the butter until melted. In a medium size bowl, combine the pulled chicken, celery, Monterey Jack cheese and half of the blue cheese.
  • Scoop some of the chicken mixture into each half of the peppers, filling them all up. Lightly mound the chicken into each pepper. Place the peppers in a baking dish and top with the remaining blue cheese.
  • Bake the peppers until tender and heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • To easily remove the seeds from the jalapeno peppers, cut them in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.
  • If you don't have any cream cheese on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese.
  • If you want your poppers to be extra crispy, bake them for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • You can also air fry these poppers at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
  • Serve these poppers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

These Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Poppers are the perfect appetizer for any party or gathering. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone.
