Ingredients
  

1 pound ground chicken

4 large jalapeños, halved and seeds removed

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, chopped green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

      Take each jalapeño half and carefully spoon the chicken mixture into the cavities, packing it tightly.

        In a shallow bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Dip each stuffed jalapeño, cheese side down, into the breadcrumbs to coat them.

          Arrange the coated jalapeño bites on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the tops for added crispiness.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the tops are golden brown.

              Remove from the oven and let the bites cool slightly before serving.

                  - Presentation Tips: Arrange the jalapeño bites on a platter with a sprinkle of extra chopped green onions on top for color, and serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Enjoy this deliciously spicy appetizer!
