Chicken Stuffed Jalapenos

Delicious Chicken Stuffed Jalapenos

These take a little bit of time and if you have issues cleaning hot peppers, you may need to wear food service plastic gloves.  I do.  If I do not my hands burn for days. But these are really worth it.  You can roast these indoors in the oven. I split the peppers down the side to remove the seeds and ribs. Use the bacon to wrap around the filled peppers and toothpickss to secure the bacon.  DO NOT FORGET TO REMOVE THE TOOTHPICKS BEFORE SERVING. You will need to put metal rack used for cooling cookies on the roasting pan so that the bottoms do not get soggy.  You will need to pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees

20 Jalapeno Pepper, seeds and ribs removed
1/2 pound of Ground Chicken Breast
1 small Onion, minced
1/2 Green Bell Pepper minced
1 teaspoon of minced Garlic
1/2 teaspoon each of Cumin, Salt, and Pepper
1 8 ounce package of Cream Cheese
10 slices of Bacon, cut into 2 pieces( to make 20)

Spray a skillet with vegetable spray, cook until brown and done Ground Chicken Breast, Onion, Garlic, and Bell Pepper. While meat is still in the skillet, add the Cream Cheese and stir until combined.
Using a small spoon, stuff the meat and cheese mixture in the Jalapenos, wrap each filled Pepper with Bacon and secure with a toothpick.  Place on rack that is sitting in a pan. Roast in the oven until the bacon is crispy on the outside. About 30 minutes. Remove toothpicks and let cool.

Enjoy!
