Appetizers are one of my favorite foods. Seriously, there are moments when I want to make a full meal out of finger foods, and let’s face it, I do. I’m such a fan of jalapeo peppers that I’ve made it my mission to recreate them in as many various ways as possible. That is why these delectable morsels were developed. The flavor combination of fiery jalapenos, cream cheese, and delicate shredded chicken is irresistible, and your family will be asking for more!The recipe not only tastes great, but it also adds protein to your poppers, making them more full and gratifying.
When my family sees a large quantity of jalapenos in our supermarket cart on our weekly grocery run, they know I’m cooking up something special. I enjoy those fiery tiny peppers, and I love how they can be used to give a little bite and excitement to almost any recipe!
When I prepare this dish at home, they always vanish quickly! My kids tell me that if I’m to prepare a chicken appetizer for a party or get-together, it has to be this jalapeno chicken. Thankfully, they’re really easy to make and they get done really quickly.
