Preparation and cooking overview
Preparing our Jalapeno Popper Chicken is a breeze! We start by combining cream cheese, shredded cheddar, diced jalapenos, and a flavorful blend of spices. Then, we stuff the chicken breasts with this cheesy mixture, coat them in crispy almond flour and Parmesan coating, and pop them into the oven for a quick 30-35 minutes. In no time, you'll be enjoying tender, juicy chicken with a crispy, golden-brown exterior bursting with irresistible flavors.
Chef's note
Looking to add a little extra pizzazz to your Jalapeno Popper Chicken? Here's a fun tip: consider experimenting with different types of cheese to customize the flavor profile. Try using pepper jack for an extra kick or mix in some tangy cream cheese for a creamier texture.

I made this tonight for the family and it was AMAZING! We are relatively new to Keto, and love our cast iron skillets! We also have all the ingredients to make the eggplant lasagne this week. Thanks for the great recipes!

Outstanding recipe. The only thing we added was a sprinkle of the sweet rub we use for regular jalapeno poppers. This is a keeper!
