Jalapeño Popper Chicken Casserole

This was so tasty!!! We ate it inside of wraps.

It was good but the leftovers don’t heat up super well I’d dice all the peppers and just sprinkle them over before the cheese

Add more jalapeños than I did. I also added shredded potato to the mixture. Made day before with fully cooked chicken so all we had to do was heat up

Dice jalapenos up next time and add bacon after cook time. Otherwise it gets too greasy

I 100% recommend rice

After boiling the chicken to shred, added the Meat Church Holy Vudu seasoning then followedthe recipe. This was amazing.

Seemed too bland to me, even leaving jalapeño seeds in it. Followed recipe, no changes. Served with rice. Hubby said was ok, but I honestly don't care for it. He can have it for dip tomorrow I guess.

Score = 9

Very tasty, very decadent. Definitely suggest serving with rice. We seasoned the cream cheese because we always season the cream cheese in our jalapeno poppers.

Used as a dip

Could use a little salt. We served it over rice, which was great.

I took my first but and took me back to first grade when my mom would make something similar. I would suggest adding a cup or so of cooked rice and it makes it ten times better!!

After reading other reviews, I decided to dice up some potatoes and put those on the bottom. I also added an extra block of cream cheese. It turned out delicious!! I love that you can choose how spicy you want it with the Jalapeños!

Honestly, fancy cheese dip. Good with potatoes or rice. Added cayenne seasoning & extra bacon. Brown jap. With butter & pepper flakes.

Lightened up with fat-free half and half, reduced fat sharp cheddar, center cut bacon, and neufchatel cheese. Yum!

It was nice and not too difficult to make. Not sure it really works as a main dish, though. Someone suggested serving over baked potatoes but I think it didn't QUITE work, needs more sauce for that.

I added way more spice than fhe 1/2 tsp garlic, like Italian, garlic, onion, and smidges of cayenne, chili powder and of course salt and pepper. I also marinated the chicken before cooking. It was so good!

Really good, next time double up on cream cheese mix to moisten it up. Serve with rice one night (bad idea, too dry) and sweet potato mash the next (way better)

Hubs didn't like it and can't pinpoint why. It feels more like a dip to me, so I served it over broccoli and I really enjoyed it.

Doubled the bacon...because...bacon...and doubled the cream cheese . :-)

Tasted good, but there was a lot of liquid. Tasty liquid, but definitely needed to be thicker.

Man this was good! Thanks to my fellow Whiskers for the tips! I did cook my jalapeños in butter for about 10 min, I used only 6 oz of cream cheese and I left some seeds in my pieces of jalapeños. I cut mine very small, as my mom has trouble chewing. Also, I put the rice on top of the chicken, (I always use chicken already cooked from the bags) then the sauce, then the rest. Absolutely will make again! Thanks all, for the tips.

I made the chicken (thighs) in the insta pot with the jalapeños and seasonings with a dash of broth & butter so they wouldn’t stick. I seasoned again once shredded and in the casserole dish & I always season with love. I put this over baked potato’s! Delish. However if you cut the chicken up it would be good as a dip!

Served on top of a baked potato, it was phenomenal!

Replaced alepenios with peppers - loved it! Super moist :-)

My husband loves!

Really good. Will have again.

Delicious and creamy goodness! Served with white rice.

This was delicious. I used chicken thigh instead of breasts and boiled them in some chicken stock for an hour or two before hand. Then used the chicken stock the chicken came out of in the recipe. So good. It could benefit from tortillas chip strips for a little added crunch, but there is a little crunch with the jalapeños.

I left the seeds in the jalapenos which worked really well with the heavy cream and cream cheese blend.

Soupy but very good

Excellent dinner 🍽️ casserole!🥘 Our jalapenos 🌶️ weren't very spicy 🔥 so we added a bit of cayenne pepper to spice things up. May have overdone it with bacon but who has ever said something had too much bacon 🥓 in it? Next time I think I'll add half the bacon crumbles into the mixture before cooking so that the smokey flavor mixes throughout the sauce. Will probably fry the jalapenos lightly before adding to mix otherwise they won't fully cook in the casserole.

Nice and spicy. Easy to make. Hubby and I both liked it.

Delicious! I smoked the jalapeños beforehand. My boyfriend loved it.

The recipe was good. Needs a filler something starchy. We added spaghetti this time, but potatoes would have gone great as well. Jalepenos were crunchy, so i may fry them a bit next time. All in all, 8/10 recommend trying.

I mixed step 1and 2 together I would definitely fry jalapeños first Will make again

So yummy!!

Probably would have kept some of the seeds in the dish. It was delicious

Super yummy! I doubled the cheddar and bacon, took it easy on the jalapeños (I just used 4 large) because we are wimps, and served it with white rice! I used chicken I had grilled earlier in the week, with all the seasoning that was on it didn't need anything else, but I can see if the chicken wasn't well seasoned where it could be bland!

Decent. I think it needs a bit more seasoning or something. Served with rice

Added Buffalo sauce to the cream cheese mixture for extra spice. served it over rice. Seems good for a game night. I like it with rice.

Go easy on the jalapeños unless you're a masochist. Recommend with ez curly fries

More more more seasoning

Add garlic and cook the chicken in the bacon grease

Less cream cheese

I feel like some rice would really bring this dish to the next level

It was ok, but didn’t make very much- definitely not a stand alone meal- get some rice or noodles to serve it over.

I seasoned it a lot more than the recipe called for. At every step I added paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic. I also added half an onion, chopped up the jalapeños , and sautéed them before adding them to the cream cheese mix. It could use some acidity like lime or hot sauce as a finishing touch. I served it over cilantro lime rice. It’s a good base recipe for sure

Good but definitely need to season the chicken more.

Instead of baking it, I put all of it in the crockpot on low for 5 hours. Worked out better for my family. Started with 4 chicken breaststroke and then shredded them in the crockpot when they were done. Not my favorite recipe, but my husband loved it.

Husband and step son cleaned it up! It was pretty tasty with my adjustments (seasonings we like).

It wasn't very flavorful. I will probably cook and marinate my chicken in some seasoning next time. Also, dicing the jalapenos is way better. It makes everything bite sized and places the pepper through the whole dish. I also whipped my cream cheese and cream together. It wasn't so watery.

It was pretty tasty! I would add something to bulk it up though. Maybe potatoes or rice?

Really good. I added rice and a little extra broth and seasonings.

I followed the directions to the T, and it wasn't good, even though I love all of these ingredients and use them often. I cooked the chicken sous vide, then shredded it, added the garlic and paprika, then transferred it to the casserole pan. The dimensions weren't defined for some reason, so I used an 11x7. I made the cream cheese/heavy cream/chicken stock mixture, then evenly distributed it on top, put my jalapeno strips on that were also cut in half to form bite size pieces. I then measured the cheese and evenly distributed it on top. 8 slices of bacon were cooked, crumbled, then put on top after 15 minutes of baking, then I let it bake for an extra 5 minutes as per the directions. This was very bland, the jalapenos were crunchy, and the bottom of the pan had a ton of juice, presumably from the chicken. I'll try it again, but I think the jalapenos should first be roasted, and the dish, overall, needs more flavor. I'll definitely be making some adjustments.

Not spicy enough. Will add more heat to the chicken itself next time.

i don’t know if it was the chicken I used but I found it to be runny. I wouldn’t use the chicken stock next time. I added taco seasoning bc I felt there wasn’t enough seasoning. I also will chop up jalapeños bc they were hard to eat in halves. Not bad, but not amazing either. I do think this would be a good stuffing for enchiladas though.

Really good! But would cut smaller jalapeno pieces so you could get some in every bite. It wasn't super spicy so could have left more seeds in there.

Both my hubby and I love this dish. It was perfect spicy for me but I will add hot sauce next time to this for my hubby as it wasn’t spicy for him. I added 1/2cup of chicken broth instead of 1/4 cup to make it more moist. I cooked the chicken with paprika and garlic powder and then when it was shredded I added more garlic and paprika.I also sliced the jalapeño and halved them and added to the cream cheese mixture. Next time I am going to sauté the jalapeños to make them more softer as they were still a little bit hard. Best keto dish ever

Really good!

I modified it a bit for a lower calorie version- 1/2 the cream cheese and milk instead of cream. BUT we found that it was delicious with tortilla chips, so that’s where the calories went 😉

Needs a better base, hashbrow crust would be perfect, brown before putting chicken down. Two medium to large size jalapeños were perfect. Needs a lot more paprika.

So I kinda made this. I used the same ingredients for the most part but made it in my instant pot instead! I first pressure cooked the chicken for 10 minutes, then added the other ingredients as well as onion powder and a little cayenne because I used a jar of jalapeños instead of fresh.

Very yummy It was not spicy after I removed the seeds and vain from the jalapeños

I actually use ground up hatch or pueblo chilis to spread them more evenly. I also add more of the cream cheese mixture and I bake it all over some rice. Other than that this is delicious!

Sweet Mama! This was so easy. I actually rubbed taco seasoning on the chicken first. My fiance and I have made this many times and its always good.

This dish is easy to make and very tasty. Tip-use a small baking dish when making for best results

Probably my first go to for meal prep.
