Ingredients
- 1/2 chicken breast
- 6 jalapenos
Seasoning for chicken
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cumin powder
- 1/4 tsp coriander powder
- 1/4 tsp red chili powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Oil
For cheese mix
- 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese or any other cheese of your choice
- 2 tbsp cream cheese softened
For Coating
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs or add salt and pepper to your bread crumbs if it's not preseasoned.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour add salt and pepper
- 2 eggs add salt and pepper
For frying
- 2 cups oil
Instructions
Cook chicken
- Mix all of the spices and apply them to the chicken. Add 1 tbsp oil to a pan and cook chicken until it is cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side on medium heat. Then cut it into 6 slices.
Seed Jalapenos
- Cut in the middle of a jalapeno only halfway through and remove the seeds carefully without breaking them. I like spicy so I left a few seeds in there.
Stuff Jalapenos
- Mix shredded and cream cheese to make a paste. Now fill each jalapeno with a slice of chicken and then cheese mixture.
Coat the poppers
- First, coat them in the flour, then dip them in the egg and then in the seasoned bread crumbs. Dip in the egg and again in the crumbs. I recommend seasoning eggs and flour as well.
- Now leave the coated jalapenos in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Fry poppers
- Heat oil and fry stuffed jalapenos for 7-8 minutes on medium heat.
