Ingredients

  • 10 jalapeño peppers sliced in half
  • 4 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese
  • 3 medium green scallions part chopped
  • 2 oz shredded low fat sharp cheddar
  • 4 oz shredded chicken
  • 1/4 cup Franks Hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup egg whites beaten
  • 3/4 cup panko crumbs
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
  • pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Set your oven to 350°F and prepare a sheet pan by lining it with parchment or foil, then lightly spraying it with oil.
  • Put on rubber gloves and slice the peppers in half lengthwise, carefully removing the seeds and membrane.
  • In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese, cheddar, and scallions until smooth, then fold in shredded chicken and hot sauce.
  • In a separate bowl, mix panko, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon the chicken and cheese mixture into each pepper half, ensuring they're well-filled.
  • Dip each stuffed pepper into beaten egg, then coat evenly with the seasoned panko mixture before arranging them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Lightly spray the tops with more oil and bake for 25 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
  • Serve immediately while hot.
