Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole image

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.
