Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 frozen jalapeno poppers
4 thin chicken cutlets, 1/8-inch thick (about 4 ounces each; pounded if needed)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Cook the jalapeno poppers according to package directions. Set aside to cool.
  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Set a baking rack into a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper. Put smooth side-down on a work surface with the short ends parallel to the edge of the countertop. Spread a fourth of the cream cheese over a cutlet, leaving about a 1/4-inch border. Lay a jalapeno popper across the short end closest to you and roll up to enclose the popper. Secure with a 6-inch wooden skewer. Sprinkle the cutlet with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining cutlets, cream cheese and poppers.
  • Put the flour in a shallow dish. Beat the egg until very loose in a second shallow dish. Put the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
  • Coat the chicken roll-ups in the flour and the dip in the egg, letting any excess drip off. Then fully coat in the breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the roll-ups in the skillet, seam-side down, and cook until golden brown on all sides, turning as needed, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the rack on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the skewers from the chicken, cut each roll-up in half and serve.

JALAPENO POPPER STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

A creamy, spicy filled breast. Flash browning on the outside doesn't cook them through. Preheat your oven to finish cooking.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and diced
4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs or 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon water
1/4 cup vegetable oil or 1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, and jalapenos in a small bowl; mix well.
  • Cut a pocket horizontally through the thickest side of each chicken breast; fill with 1/4 of the cheese mixture. Secure with toothpicks. Tip: If breasts are thick, before slitting, slightly poud the thickest part of the breast side. It, also, makes for a larger pocket. Don't pound too thin.
  • Combine Panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and Parmesan; place on a piece of waxed paper.
  • Beat egg and water in a shallow bowl.
  • Dip stuffed chicken breast in egg mixture, then into Panko mixture, coating well.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken breasts on both sides until golden; place on a foil lined shallow baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees in a preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Tips:

  • To easily remove the chicken breast tenderloins, slice the chicken breast in half horizontally.
  • For a more even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before stuffing.
  • Make sure the cream cheese mixture is cold before stuffing the chicken breasts, this will help prevent the cream cheese from melting and oozing out during cooking.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, bake it at a high temperature for a short period of time.
  • If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the jalapenos from the cream cheese mixture.
  • For a crispy coating, coat the chicken breasts in crushed pork rinds or bread crumbs before baking.
  • Serve the stuffed chicken breasts with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno popper stuffed chicken breast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy jalapeno filling and crispy breadcrumb coating make this dish a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, give this recipe a try.
