Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole
The Ingredients:
2 ½ pounds Chicken Breasts
1/4 cup Jalapenos (De-seed if you aren’t a fan of spicy) Divided if you want to put some on top
10 oz. low fat Cream Cheese
1T olive oil
4 oz. Reduced fat Shredded Cheddar
2 oz. Part Skim Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
¼ tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper to Taste
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 400F. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then lay on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet wrapped in foil. Bake chicken breasts for 40 minutes at 400F.
Once your timer hits 20 minutes, start on the filling. Add olive oil into a pan over medium heat. Once oil is heated, add jalapenos into the pan.
Once jalapenos are soft and cooked, add cream cheese, and frank’s red hot to the pan. Mix together until creamy and combined.
Remove chicken from the oven and let cool slightly. Lay chicken into a casserole dish, then spread cream cheese mixture over it, then top with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 10-15 minutes at 400F. Broil for 3-5 minutes to finish.
Optional: Top with extra jalapenos before you broil.
