Chicken Stuffed Keto Jalapeno Poppers

With football season starting up and the holidays just around the corner I have already started thinking about Keto Appetizers to take to all of the fun fall festivities. First up - Chicken Stuffed Keto Jalapeno Poppers! 

Jalapeño Poppers have long been a go to favorite for game day parties, holiday parties, and just as a simple low carb snack. 

Now I am not a huge fan of spicy food, but these have just enough kick. The creaminess of the cheese and cream cheese help cool it off in the most savory, delicious way. It is hard not to eat them all! 

The best part too is these are super quick to make and can be made even a couple days ahead of time and reheated for your party. Who doesn't love a Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Popper!?

It is amazing how tasty just five simple ingredients can be - but that is one of the things I love most about the Keto Lifestyle - the food is simple and delicious!

Chicken Stuffed Keto Jalapeno Poppers

Ingredients:

• 1 oz. Canned chicken well drained
• 2 oz. Cream cheese
• 1 oz. Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 Strips thick cut bacon
• 4 Medium jalapeno peppers
• Salt & Pepper to taste (optional) 

How to make Jalapeno Poppers

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut the top off of each Jalapeno pepper, and then slice them in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the insides, including the seeds.
• Add 1 ounce of canned chicken to a small mixing bowl.
• Mix in 2 ounces of cream cheese and 1 ounce of shredded cheddar cheese.
• Sprinkle in pepper to taste if desired.
• Mix all the ingredients together well.
• Fill each of the jalapeno pepper halves with the cream cheese and chicken mixture until you have used it all.

• Cut the slices of thick cut bacon in half lengthwise and then in half again horizontally. This will give you 4 pieces of bacon per strip.
• Wrap a piece of bacon around each of the stuffed jalapeno peppers.
• Place the peppers on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil, or on a baking rack that sits within a sheet pan.
• Bake the peppers for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the peppers are starting to become tender.
