Number Of Ingredients 9

6 pieces Small Chicken Thighs
6 slices Bacon
6 pieces Medium Jalapenos
12 ounces Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
4 ounces Shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 ounces Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Hot Sauce
1 pinch Salt and Pepper

Steps:

  • De-bone all chicken thights and pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Season chicken thighs well with salt and pepper, then lay on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet wrapped in foil. Bake for 40 minutes at 400 degrees F.
  • At 20 minutes, start the filling. Chop 6 slices of bacon into pieces and put into a pan over medium heat. Once the bacon is mostly crisped, add jalapenos into the pan.
  • Once jalapenos are soft and cooked, add cream cheese, mayonnaise, and hot sauce to the pan. Mix together and season to taste.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let cool slightly. Once they are cool, remove the skins.
  • Lay the chicken into a casserole dish, spread the cream cheese mixture over it, and top it with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees F. Broil for 3-5 minutes to finish. Optionally, top with extra jalapenos before broiling.
