Chicken & Cheese Stuffed Jalapeños (FM)
Recipes | December 07, 2016
*Makes 3 Portions (1 Portion = 4 stuffed jalapenos)
Ingredients:
12 jalapeno peppers halved and seeded
2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 oz cream cheese
1 whole bunch chives chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt to taste
Breading:
2 tbsp butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup almond flour
- combine all 3 ingrediens in a medium size bowl and mix well until a crumbled breading is formed.
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400F degrees.
- Place the halved and seeded jalapeño peppers on a plate and microwave them for 2 minutes to make them softer.
- In a large bowl add the cheddar, cream cheese, chicken, chives, garlic powder and salt. Mix until well combined. That’s the stuffing for the peppers.
- Stuff the jalapeño halves with the chicken/cheese mixture evenly and then cover each one of them with an even layer of the breading.
- Transfer the peppers on a large baking sheet and place them into the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let them cool down before serving.

You’ll get 24 little jalapeños. If you want them just as a snack then one or two would be enough. If you want them to be one of your main meals, I would say 4.

I made this recipe twice and I won’t stop there!! LOL! These are so super-yummy!!!…the second time I opted to skip the almond flour on top and it was still bomb. Thanks so much Z, I love every recipe I’ve tried so far.

I had tons of leftover filling so next time I’ll cut that part in half. I estimate 75 calories per 1/2 filled jalapeño and 6 grams of protein each. I had 4 of them with a cup of pumpkin chipotle soup for dinner. I added whey protein to the soup. 36 grams of protein and 475 calories for the entire meal 😋
