Ingredients
- For substitutions, you can use Greek yogurt in place of cream cheese for a lighter option, or try vegan cheeses to make it dairy-free.
Instructions
- Step 1:Preheat the ovenSet your oven to 325°F (165°C). While it’s heating, prepare the jalapenos by slicing them in half lengthwise, removing the seeds, and leaving the stems intact. This will give them a boat-like shape, perfect for stuffing.
- Step 2:Prepare the FillingIn a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, diced cooked chicken, blue cheese dressing, and Buffalo wing sauce. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Step 3:Stuff the PeppersUsing a piping bag or a spoon, fill each jalapeno half with the cheese and chicken mixture. Be generous with the filling to ensure each popper has a full flavor.
- Step 4:Bake to PerfectionPlace the stuffed jalapenos on a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. For extra spicy poppers, bake uncovered for 20 minutes. For a milder taste, extend the baking time to 30 or 40 minutes.
Notes
Use fresh jalapenosfor the best texture and flavor.
Wear gloveswhen handling the peppers to avoid irritation from the capsaicin.
Adjust the spiciness by removing more or fewer seeds from the jalapenos.
For extra indulgence, top with crumbled blue cheese before baking.
