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.

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.
