Boy, oh boy do I have something special to share with y’all today! My Sister/BFF/Photographer is doing the low carb thing and she came up with a low carb version of the popular Jalapeno Popper Chicken that you could serve to both low carbers and non-low carbers alike! (If you really wanted to add a carb-y side as an option, might I suggest this Mexican Cilantro Rice)
Low Carb Smothered Jalapeno Popper Chicken
Ingredients
6 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
salt and pepper to taste
For the Jalapeno Popper Layer
5 slices of bacon, diced
1/4 cup jalapeno slices, diced (the kind in the jar that you put on nachos)
1/4 cup diced onion
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Kraft grated Parmesan
For the Topping
1 bag of crushed Pork Skins
1/2 cup Kraft grated Parmesan Cheese
4 TBSP butter, melted
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place chicken breast in a 13×9 casserole dish and bake until juices run clear. 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the breast. While chicken is baking, fry bacon pieces until crispy. Remove bacon and add onions and saute until tender. Remove from heat and add crispy bacon, onions, jalapenos, cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined. Remove chicken from oven and reduce to 350 degrees. Spread jalapeno popper mixture all over each Chicken breast until well covered.
For the Crumb topping: mix together the crushed pork skins, Parmesan cheese and melted butter. Sprinkle on top of jalapeno popper topped chicken. Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. ENJOY!!!
