Whew, that was a mouthful! I really wanted to make sure that this recipe was perfect for y&#8217;all, and it finally is. It is one of my favorite chicken dishes ever! And trust me, I have eaten a lot of chicken in my 24 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was in high school, I use to love going to Sonic to get their jalape\u00f1o poppers. I went almost everyday. My friends caught on to my obsession, and one even nicknamed me &#8220;jalape\u00f1o popper&#8221; (I have pictures to prove this). There is just something about a creamy cheese mixture with jalape\u00f1os. So good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used sour cream in this stuffed bacon cheddar jalape\u00f1o chicken, but you could use mayo or greek yogurt. You can actually customize this however you like. You could make a spinach version or a greek version. The options are endless! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/laurencunningham.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_0703-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Stuffed Cheddar Bacon Jalapeno Chicken\" class=\"wp-image-125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laurencunningham.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_0703-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/laurencunningham.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_0703-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laurencunningham.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_0703-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/laurencunningham.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_0703-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/laurencunningham.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_0703-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/laurencunningham.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_0703-1600x1067.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1 -1.5 lbs.)<\/li><li>3 medium jalape\u00f1os, de-seeded &amp; diced <\/li><li>5 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled<\/li><li>1 1\/4 cups shredded (or grated) cheddar cheese<\/li><li>2 tsp. honey (I get this from <a href=\"https:\/\/thrivemarket.com\/myaisle\/?aisle=food\">Thrive Market<\/a>)<\/li><li>4 tbsp. sour cream<\/li><li>1\/4 tsp. garlic powder<\/li><li>1\/2 tsp. onion powder<\/li><li>Salt<\/li><li>Black pepper<\/li><li>1 tbsp. olive oil <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Directions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Drizzle the olive oil inside a glass baking dish.
