This crazy good dish of Jalapeño Popper Chicken Casserole with Bacon and red bell pepper will quickly become one of your favorite recipes!
If you are a fan of Jalapeño Poppers – you know that classic cream cheese stuffed, bacon-wrapped appetizer? Then you are going to love this dish. It takes all of those great flavors and ties it into a chicken dish.
And the leftovers the next day (if you have any) are even better. Actually, you may want to double this recipe just so you can have leftovers.
To Make This Jalapeno Popper Chicken Casserole with Bacon you will need:
- bacon (beef or turkey)
- chicken breasts
- salt & pepper
- red bell peppers
- jalapeno peppers
- cream cheese
- cheddar cheese
- mayonnaise
- chili powder
- skillet
- slotted spoon
- square baking dish
- paper towels
- dishes
Dice your bacon, or cut it into 1/2 inch pieces, and sauté it in a skillet until it is golden and crispy. I use a beef or turkey bacon.
While the bacon is cooking, you’ll de-seed and dice a red bell pepper and 4 jalapeño peppers.
Your peppers and then the chicken will all cook in the bacon drippings, giving everything a wonderful flavor. Not to mention the cream cheese making this just ridiculous (that’s a good thing!)
Add in some cheddar cheese, spread it in a baking pan, and bake this to perfection.
I like to serve the bacon topped Jalapeño Popper Chicken Casserole with some guacamole, and maybe a tossed salad, too.
