Jalapeno with Chicken Stuffing is one of those recipes that I would categorize as “let me try and see if it works”. Guess What? It works! There is no history or memories behind this recipe. I came up with it because I was inspired by all the preparations for tomorrow’s thanksgiving dinner. Luckily, I had all the ingredients in my pantry. Believe it or not, I already had jalapenos which I was planning to use for my turkey.
The great thing about this recipe is that it’s really quick, easy and the prep work is minimal. I feel the crisp texture of the jalapenos, with softness of the chicken stuffing and melted cheese on top, makes it perfect as an appetizer. Next time I am having a party, I will be serving these. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving Y’all!
Ingredients:
6 jalapenos
2 cups Stove Top or any other boxed chicken stuffing
1 1/2 cups Taco cheese blend
Preparations:
- Cut open the jalapenos lengthwise. Remove all the seeds from the center and set aside.
- Prepare the stuffing as per the instructions on the box. Allow it to cool.
- Take one half of the jalapeno and stuff them with a spoonful of stuffing. Place them on a baking tray.
- Repeat this for all the other jalapenos.
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Sprinkles cheese on each of the stuffed jalapenos.
- Bake it for around 5-6 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Additional Instructions:
- If you are adventures like me, you can leave some seeds in. It will add a bit of heat. Make sure however to not leave more than 3- 4 seeds.
- Any kinds of stuffing works with the recipe. You can substitute the chicken stuffing with vegetarian one.
- I personally would experiment with other kinds of cheese as well.

Okay today is Thanksgiving! I can so make this and have no reason other then the fact that I want it!
Simple but definitely something that can spice up a holiday (or any) dinner.
My husband would love this recipe. I’m not big on spicy items, but he loves them! I may have to make this for him as a birthday dinner.
This sounds like a great new and spicy way to enjoy stuffing. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
We love stuffed jalapenos. They are definitely a most requested dish in our house. I will have to give this a try, sounds yummy.
Yummy what a great idea something i have never thought of doing.thank you for sharing i will give it a try.
I could just imagine the flavor combinations in this dish due to the jalapeños. My husband likes recipes that pack a flavor punch so he would love this one if I made it here at home.
This looks very tempting but I don’t eat spicy or hot. I think they would go great when entertaining for a football game or holiday party.
My husband would be in heaven if I made this for him! He loves anything with jalapenos! I never thought to use a chicken stuffing before.
I bet those are really good, I will file this one for the future. I would love to try it now but jalapenos are on the do not eat list when you have ulcers.
Oh I love hot foods! This looks amazing to me!
This looks like a great recipe! My kids love all type of stuffed peppers.
I probably shouldn’t have read this while I was hungry! LOL. It looks and sounds amazing.
These look amazing! I however wouldn’t be able to do the mix inside… Have to go Gluten Free for me.. but They sound awesome!
I would definitely make sure all the seeds were out! This sounds like an easy and delicious appetizer.
