Creamy, cheesy, and slightly spicy keto jalapeno popper bites filled with chicken and cheddar, baked until bubbly for the perfect low-carb appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

  • 10 fresh jalapenos, halved and seeds removed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked and finely shredded chicken
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes to reduce heat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, shredded chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well blended.
  4. Spoon the mixture evenly into each jalapeno half, pressing gently to fill.
  5. Arrange the stuffed jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the jalapenos are tender.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving, as the filling will be very hot.

Notes

  • For extra meltiness, add shredded mozzarella to the filling.
  • Adjust spice level by leaving some jalapeno seeds or adding cayenne pepper.
  • Top with extra cheddar before baking for a golden finish.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5–8 minutes for best texture.
  • Freeze unbaked poppers and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
