Time 30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 oz cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup heavy cream
2 ¾ cups shredded chicken
⅔ cup shredded monterey jack cheese
⅔ cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 teaspoons McCormick® Onion Powder
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¾ cup Frank's® RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce, plus more for serving
10 jalapeñoes
5 bacons, cooked until slightly crispy and finely chopped
½ cup panko breadcrumbs, plus 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons olive oil
⅓ cup blue cheese, crumbled
blue cheese, or creamy ranch dip, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl using a rubber spatula, stir the cream cheese until smooth, then fold in the heavy cream, shredded chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, onion powder, black pepper, and Frank's® RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce until fully incorporated.
Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Arrange the jalapeño halves, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet and divide the chicken mixture evenly among the halves. Sprinkle the bacon on top.
In a small bowl, stir together the panko bread crumbs and olive oil until the panko is evenly coated. Sprinkle over the jalapeños.
Bake the jalapeño poppers for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese on top. Drizzle with more Frank's® RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce. Serve immediately with blue cheese or creamy ranch dip.
Enjoy!
