Crispy Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Chicken
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeno peppers.
- Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each chicken breast with the cream cheese mixture.
- In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then dredge in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the chicken back into the eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
