Cream Cheese Jalapeno Chicken Poppers

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350.

2. 2

   Slice chicken breasts into bite sized pieces, sprinkle with your favorite poultry seasoning and cook in skillet with some olive oil.

3. 3

   Wearing gloves, slice all jalapenos in half.

4. 4

   Then, de-seed and remove the stems.

5. 5

   With a knife, slice cream cheese and transfer slices to the hollowed out jalapeno shells (using a knife is easier than a spoon).

6. 6

   Add the cooked chicken chunks to the top of jalapenos and wrap a little piece of bacon around each one.

7. 7

   Then place them on a large baking sheet with a rim...there will be lots o juices, so you do not want to use a baking stone or anything without a rim.

8. 8

   Cook for 20 minutes or even a bit more if the bacon is not crispy.

9. 9

   Serve with apricot preserves on the side for a sweet and spicy contrast.
