Categories     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup diced jalapeno
1 ½ cups 12 ounces pre-cooked chicken
¾ cup 6 ounces mashed avocado
½ cup plain low-fat or fat-free Greek Yogurt

¼ cup chopped green onions

Steps:

  • Add cooking spray to a small skillet and cook jalapeno over medium heat until tender, just a few minutes.
  • Place cooked jalapeno in a large bowl with chicken, avocado, yogurt, 1 cup cheese, chili powder and cumin. Stir to combine. Add salt and pepper if desired, to taste.
  • Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil. Arrange peppers on cookie sheet. Fill each pepper with about 1-2 tablespoons chicken mixture. (Every pepper will vary as the mini peppers often come in different sizes.)
  • Top with remaining cheese.
  • Broil on high for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and peppers have started to cook around the edges. They won't get soft - they stay crunchy on purpose.
