BUFFALO CHICKEN JALAPENO POPPERS

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.

Time 1h

Yield 12 jalapenos, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 fresh jalapenos
6 ounces squeeze packages Philadelphia Cream Cheese
12 pieces of precooked grilled fajita chicken strips
jalapeno, cast iron holder for the grill (found at grill shops or on line)

Steps:

  • Freeze the jalapenos in a baggie in the freezer the night before you want to cook them.
  • Take them out of the freezer, cut off the tops and scrape out the seeds. Much easier when frozen. Freezing them also takes out a bit of the heat.
  • Squeeze 1/2 package of cream cheese into jalapeno.
  • Stuff a piece of grilled chicken strip into cream cheese.
  • Place poppers into holder and put them in the smoker for 45 minutes.
  • Serve while hot as an appetizer.

Tips:

1. Choose firm and ripe jalapeño peppers for a better texture and flavor. 2. Use gloves when handling jalapeños to prevent the capsaicin from irritating your skin. 3. Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers if you prefer a milder heat level. 4. To make the filling, use a combination of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and your favorite spices. 5. For a crispy coating, use a combination of bread crumbs and Panko breadcrumbs. 6. Fry the poppers in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. 7. Serve the poppers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or barbecue sauce.
