Ingredients
- 10 ounce chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon paprika + more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 20 jalapeno peppers
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 8 ounces shredded smoked gouda
Instructions
- Get the chicken going first. Season the breast with paprika, salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat. Add the chicken and brown it a couple minutes per side, then add the chicken stock and cover. Reduce the heat to simmer.
- Let it cook about 15 minutes or so, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and shred it with a fork. Add it to a mixing bowl and cool.
- Add the cream cheese and smoked gouda. Mix it all together.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides with a spoon. Set onto lightly oiled baking dishes.
- Fill each jalapeno pepper with the chicken-cheese mixture. You might have some leftover, depending on the size of your peppers. Just distribute evenly.
- Bake the jalapeno poppers about 20 minutes, or until the peppers soften and the cheeses are bubbly.
- Remove from heat, cool slightly, then dust with paprika or a spicy chili powder.
- Serve!
