Number Of Ingredients 9

6 pieces Small Chicken Thighs
6 slices Bacon
6 pieces Medium Jalapenos
12 ounces Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
4 ounces Shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 ounces Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Hot Sauce
1 pinch Salt and Pepper

Steps:

  • De-bone all chicken thights and pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Season chicken thighs well with salt and pepper, then lay on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet wrapped in foil. Bake for 40 minutes at 400 degrees F.
  • At 20 minutes, start the filling. Chop 6 slices of bacon into pieces and put into a pan over medium heat. Once the bacon is mostly crisped, add jalapenos into the pan.
  • Once jalapenos are soft and cooked, add cream cheese, mayonnaise, and hot sauce to the pan. Mix together and season to taste.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let cool slightly. Once they are cool, remove the skins.
  • Lay the chicken into a casserole dish, spread the cream cheese mixture over it, and top it with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees F. Broil for 3-5 minutes to finish. Optionally, top with extra jalapenos before broiling.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I loved this casserole. The heat from the buffalo sauce was just right.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use it in this casserole during the week.

This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the cheesy, saucy chicken and didn't even notice the jalapeños.

This casserole is a bit on the spicy side, so if you're not a fan of heat, you might want to go light on the buffalo sauce. You could also try using a milder hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot.

I was skeptical about the combination of buffalo sauce and cheese, but it actually works really well. The cheese mellows out the heat of the sauce, and the two flavors complement each other perfectly.

Easy to make and super delicious! I love that it's a one-pan dish, which makes cleanup a breeze. I also like that it's customizable - I added some extra diced celery and carrots to mine.

This casserole was a hit at our game day party! The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the combination of buffalo sauce and cheese was divine. The jalapeños added a nice kick of heat, and the breadcrumb topping was crispy and golden brown. I will defi
