FETA STUFFED JALAPENOS



Feta Stuffed Jalapenos image

I saw these beautiful red Jalapenos and couldn't resist them but not sure what to do with them - I found a recipe on the internet by "Claire". Tweaked it a bit. Depending on the size of your peppers you may need a bit more oil & vinegar (keep it in proportion)they must be covered with the oil/vingar while marinating. Simple and Oh so tasty Prep time does not inclued the minimum 4 hours marinating

JALAPENO-STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST



Jalapeno-Stuffed Chicken Breast image

Turn up the heat at your dinner table with grilled, stuffed chicken breasts filled with a mixture of jalapeno peppers and two types of cheese.

Provided by JGesq

Categories     Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium jalapeno peppers
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ small onion, chopped
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
cooking spray
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place jalapeno peppers on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high power until soft but still plump, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and discard seeds. Dice peppers.
  • Mix diced peppers, Monterey Jack cheese, onion, cream cheese, garlic, and cumin together in a bowl.
  • Make a pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut through the sides or bottom, as follows: Make a vertical slice in the top center of each breast, starting about 1/2 inch in from each edge. Starting inside the vertical slit, cut horizontally into the chicken breast in both directions; this should leave you with a nice pocket.
  • Press 1/4 of the pepper-cheese mixture into each breast. Close and secure with toothpicks. Spray chicken breasts with cooking spray and season with salt.
  • Place chicken on the preheated grill with toothpicks facing upwards. Grill for 12 minutes, then turn and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove toothpicks before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Make sure your jalapeños are finely chopped: This will help to distribute the heat evenly throughout the dish.
  • Don't overstuff the chicken breasts: If you stuff them too tightly, they will be difficult to cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken breasts: They should be cooked through but still juicy.
  • Serve the chicken breasts immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Hot Jalapeño Pepper Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken breasts are juicy and flavorful, and the jalapeño peppers and feta cheese add a nice kick. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
