INGREDIENTS

  • Marinade

    • 🥛 4 tablespoons plain yogurt
    • 1 tablespoon garam masala
    • 1 tablespoon chicken masala powder
    • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
    • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
    • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
    • 🧂 Salt to taste

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🍗 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    • 14 large jalapeno peppers
    • 🧀 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
    • 🥓 2 (8 ounce) packages bacon

STEPS

1

Combine yogurt, garam masala, chicken masala, coriander, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, turmeric, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

2

Slice chicken breasts into small strips that will fit on halved jalapenos and place into the bowl with the tikka marinade. Mix well, cover, and let sit in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.

3

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a cooling rack on top of a baking tray.

4

Snap off jalapeno stems by holding a pepper with one hand and pulling it off to the side. Slice all jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove all seeds and ribbing using a teaspoon.

5

Fill jalapeno halves with cream cheese using a teaspoon, as much as desired. Place a strip of tikka chicken on top of cream cheese and wrap each jalapeno halve with a slice of bacon. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is browned and crisp, about 40 minutes.

💡 For an extra smoky flavor, try grilling the jalapeno poppers on a BBQ instead of baking.Marinate the chicken overnight for a deeper flavor.Control the spiciness by choosing milder or hotter jalapenos to suit your taste.
