How to make keto stuffed jalapenos

I love this simple keto dish because if you use pre-cooked chicken, the meal prep and cook time is quick and the dish can come together really quickly.

I generally just use leftover rotisserie chicken or leftover crockpot shredded chicken for this recipe.

If you need to cook the chicken breast, you can boil about half a pound of the raw chicken breast until cooked to 165 degrees (about 15 minutes). This will give you about 6 ounces of cooked chicken breast.

You’ll just mix your chicken with cream cheese, spices, and hot sauce. Fill up your halved jalapenos, then sprinkle cheese on top and bake ‘em. We love these at our house with a cheddar/mozzarella blend, but you can also make these with Colby Jack or Pepperjack.

The result? They’re a little spicy, super cheesy, and just plain delicious low carb appetizer or homemade keto snack.

Can stuffed jalapenos be frozen?

Yes! If you want to freeze these, you’ll stuff them and freeze them prior to cooking. The only modification I recommend for freezing is stirring the shredded cheese into the cream cheese mixture instead of sprinkling it on top. It’s just easier to freeze them this way compared to sprinkling it on top.

When you’re ready to cook them, just pull them out of the freezer and pop them directly in the oven. You will probably need to cook them for an additional 5 minutes.
