Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Chicken
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!
To make Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:

Recipe Reviews
Loved this popper jalapeno stuffed chicken more than the sweet and spicy one, it had a lot more flavor to it.
Everytime I cook something from this website it's like eating at a 5 star resturant.
I got everything right on the first try thanks for the simple steps, you guys always manage to make my stomach smile :)
Can't wait to try this out today it looks good.
Not gonna lie the first bite felt like my mouth was on fire but in a good way haha.
Another brilliant recipe but I'm not shocked since it was made by Jelena lol you got the best stuff gal.
Great with some white or brown rice it actually helps with the spicyness too.
I'm amazed with how juciy this turned out..perfect with some avocado too on the side.
Really delicious with some cheesy garlic bread on the side.
Dabbed a bit of hot sauce on the top of this and served with some mashed potatos.
Fantastic! I really enjoyed this luxrious meal that i've made from my own home.
Spicy is the way to go with chicken so i'm happy i tried this out.
If you really want to bring out a blast of flavors in your mouth I'd say squeeze some lemon on the bad boy! You won't regret it.
Totally obsessed with spicy things and this stuffed jalapeno chicken makes my mouth water just looking at it!!
This wasn't bad at all but my mouth can't handle jalapenos apparently and nor can my stomach since I got kinda sick afterwards, felt like my bum was on fire ahhaha.
Not my favorite stuffed chicken but it'll work when I want something spicy.
Best thing I've ever made in my own house thanks so much for sharing it!!
Easily one of my favorite stuffed chicken meals along with the sundried tomato one which is actually a lot more juicy.
The sundried tomato stuffed chicken is wayy juicier than this.
Mine turned out completely dry and plain..
Well done! Verified!
