Contributed by Ken Hagler
JALAPENO POPPER CASSEROLE (Low Carb)
Love jalapeño poppers? This casserole is a must! You got layers of all the classic jalapeño popper ingredients, including chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon. A 12” Cast Iron Skillet will work but a 14” or 16” would be ideal.
You’re Gonna Need:
- 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cubed
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
- 8 oz package cream cheese softened
- ½ cup cup heavy cream
- 5 to 6 jalapeno peppers seeded and diced
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 slices chopped bacon
Instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare your skillet with butter or avocado oil.
Place chicken in the bottom of the skillet in a layer, leaving a little space between the chicken cubes.
2) Blend together the garlic powder, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Pour over the chicken and top with diced jalapenos. Top with cheese
3) Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the chicken is done.
4) Top with bacon crumbles and serve. Oh YESSS!!!!
