Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • FOR THE JALAPENO LAYER
  • 6 ounces sliced bacon (6 slices, diced)
  • 1/4 cup jalapeno slices, diced (the kind in the jar)
  • 1/3 cup diced yellow onion (1 small onion)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, then place in a greased 13×9 casserole dish. Bake 30-35 minutes, depending on the size of the breast (this will have another 15 minutes of cooking time).

  • Step 2: While chicken is baking, in a skillet, fry bacon pieces until crispy. Remove bacon to a bowl. Add chopped onions and saute until tender (3 minutes). Remove from heat and add the cooked bacon back to the skillet along with jalapenos, cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.

  • Step 3: Remove chicken from oven. Spread jalapeno-cheese mixture all over top of each cooked chicken breast until well covered.

  • FOR THE CRUMB TOPPING MIXTURE

  • Step 4: Mix together the crushed pork skins, Parmesan cheese and melted butter. Sprinkle on top of jalapeno popper topped chicken. Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. SO GOOD!
