Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Chicken Breasts.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x11-inch baking dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine crushed crackers with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, creating a flavorful coating.

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, set aside some bread crumbs, and in a third bowl, pour in your beaten eggs, ready for dipping.

4. Step 4

   Now, let’s prepare the chicken! Using a meat tenderizer, gently pound each chicken breast until they’re thin and even, making them perfect for stuffing.

5. Step 5

   On each breast, place two strips of creamy cream cheese and a tablespoon of diced jalapeño for a delightful kick.

6. Step 6

   Fold the chicken over to enclose that tasty filling, creating little pockets of goodness.

7. Step 7

   Next, it’s time to coat the chicken.

8. Step 8

   Dip each stuffed breast into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s well-covered, then roll it in the bread crumbs for a crispy texture.

9. Step 9

   For an extra crunch, dip it back into the egg and finish by rolling it in the seasoned cracker mixture.

10. Step 10

    Place your beautifully coated chicken in the prepared baking dish, securing them with toothpicks or kitchen twine if needed to keep everything snug.

11. Step 11

    Now, pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 45 minutes.

12. Step 12

    You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.

13. Step 13

    For peace of mind, check with an instant-read thermometer; it should read at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the center.

14. Step 14

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you await this scrumptious meal!.
