Ingredients

Buffalo Chicken Mixture

2 cups shredded chicken
8 ounces cream cheese softened
1 ½ cups shredded cheese see notes
1 green onion sliced
½ cup hot sauce
¼ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Peppers

15 large jalapenos halved and seeds removed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, green onion, hot sauce, dressing, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.
Divide the mixture evenly between the jalapeno halves, making sure to fill each one completely full.
(Optional) If you like a thick cheese crust, sprinkle an additional ¼ cup of shredded cheese on top.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the filling has started to bubble and the jalapenos have softened.
Serve warm.
Store any leftover poppers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.

Notes

This would be a great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken!
I like to use a mix of cheddar and parmesan or mozzarella in this recipe-- but use whatever you have on hand!
Franks Red Hot is my preferred hot sauce, but you can use any brand you like. You can also add the hot sauce to taste if you’d like a milder/spicier popper.
