Goodness gracious, y’all. This Jalapeno Popper Chicken is fabulous. And I mean FABULOUS!
If your family enjoys the flavors of Jalapeno Poppers or Jalapeno Popper Dip , then they will fall in love with this Jalapeno Popper Chicken recipe. Promise.
While my recipe includes the step to bake skinless, boneless chicken breasts, you can easily just pick up a rotisserie chicken from your grocery store deli, whip up the ingredients for the topping, mix in the chicken, and bake it for about 15 minutes for the cracker topping to brown.
You’ll have this deliciousness on the table in no time flat.
Or, if you are like me and cook a bunch of chicken at least once during the week to use in so many other recipes throughout the week , this is one of those recipes you’ll be glad you did!
Here’s my Jalapeno Popper Chicken recipe. I can’t wait to hear how you love it!
