ONE PAN CHEESY JALAPEñO CHICKEN

Steps:

• To a mixing bowl, add chicken, chili powder, oregano, kosher salt, ground cumin, black pepper, dried minced onion, and ancho chile powder. Toss and massage spice mixture into all sides of chicken.
• Add flour to a shallow bowl or plate and lightly dredge chicken in flour. Let chicken sit while you heat up your pan.
• Heat large oven-safe skillet over MED-HIGH heat. Add lime slices to pan and char for 1-2 minutes per side, until charred and brown, as desired. Remove to a plate.
• Add 2 ½ Tbsp of the vegetable oil to the hot pan and let heat through until shimmering.
• Add chicken pieces to the hot pan, being careful not to overcrowd the pan (you may need to do 2 batches, depending on the size of your pan). Cook about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown, then remove to plate.
• Move oven rack to the upper third part of the oven and preheat broiler to HIGH.
• Add remaining 1 Tbsp vegetable oil and then add corn kernels, jalapeno slices and garlic. Cook, stirring often, about 2-3 minutes, until corn begins to lightly brown.
• Add chicken back to the pan, and pour in lime juice and water. Cook several minutes (this time can vary depending on your stove - mine took 2 minutes), until liquid is mostly absorbed.
• Sprinkle with shredded cheese and broil for about 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
• Garnish with minced fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges or charred lime slices.

REX'S CHICKEN WITH JALAPENOS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Marinate chicken in batter for at least 2 hours or overnight. Take chicken out of batter. Roll in flour mixture. Fry floured chicken in hot oil until done. Make sure oil is not too hot, chicken will get too brown too fast. Set aside and keep warm. Put sliced jalapeno peppers in batter, then into remaining flour mixture. Fry until golden brown. The jalapeno peppers are optional but delicious for those who like spicy.

CHICKEN JALAPENO POPPER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on one half of a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with the chili powder, cumin and some salt and pepper. Place the jalapeno peppers on the other half of the same baking sheet. Drizzle them with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• On a second baking sheet, lay the bacon slices out in a single layer. Put both baking sheets into the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese, Cheddar, sour cream, chicken stock and paprika together in a mixing bowl.
• Transfer the bacon and chicken to a cutting board. Dice the chicken and chop the bacon. Add all of the diced chicken to the cream cheese mixture along with half of the chopped bacon. Stir together until well mixed.
• Transfer half of the chicken mixture to an 8-inch square casserole dish. Arrange half of the roasted jalapenos on top of the chicken mixture. Top with the remaining chicken mixture followed by the rest of the roasted jalapenos.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the fried jalapenos, breadcrumbs and the remaining bacon. Toss with the melted butter until evenly mixed. Sprinkle the top of the casserole with the breadcrumb mixture. Bake until bubbly and golden, 25 to 27 minutes.
