This Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Chicken is a delicious creamy filled chicken dish with a spicy kick. I regularly make this jalapeño popper stuffed chicken on our Saturday movie nights. Now that the kids are older, they are open to trying new dishes and this chicken went down a treat with the whole family last time I made it.
I make this chicken in the hasselback style meaning that I make horizontal incisions half an inch apart, taking care not to slice right through the chicken breast. I then stuff these incisions with a cream cheese mixture, bacon and jalapeño peppers. This combination of ingredients makes my jalapeño popper stuffed chicken tasty and delicious!
