Betty Crocker Jalapeño Popper Chicken

What could be better than enjoying ooey, gooey, cheesy jalapeño poppers? Getting to enjoy them for dinner!

Around the test kitchens, we’re crazy for the flavors of jalapeño poppers, so when the time came to create new recipes for the 13th Edition Betty Crocker Cookbook, we knew we wanted a way to develop a dinner recipe with the familiar flavor of the adored appetizer.

Chicken breasts are cut to form pockets for the delectable filling. A tasty combo of two cheeses, and sliced fresh jalapeños are stuffed in each breast before being topped with a crispy panko topping with even more cheese and bacon—yum! Baked in the oven, the filling infuses the chicken with incredible flavor while chicken breasts turn out moist and tender and ready for your fork to dive right into.

We love serving these jalapeño popper chicken breasts with cheesy Mexican rice mix and a crisp green salad or coleslaw while the chicken bakes to make it a meal everyone will want to put on repeat.
