LIGHTENED JALAPEÑO POPPER DIP – It’s Mouthwatering!



Flip it!

Wow, these were fantastic! Didn’t change a thing. Used the panko crumbs and it gave it a nice crunch. My husband wasn’t able to eat it until the next day, and he texted me and said “Holy crow, that chicken you made last night is wicked good!” So I’d say this is a keeper recipe!!

This is a wonderful recipe!! My whole family loves it. I just love your recipes.Made this tonight. Left out the bacon cause believe it or not I am not a bacon lover. Omg!!!! This is freaking delicious!! It is definitely something I will make very often!! Thank you for this recipe!!

GREAT recipe! So many positives. First, it was so much easier than I thought it was going to be. I cut larger chicken breasts into fillets myself, so they weren’t all exactly 3oz, some were 4oz. That was the hardest part! At first I was trying to insert the toothpick right after stuffing, but that made it difficult to coat in the lime and breadcrumbs, so I finally figured out to just hold it together and pin it once in the pan. OK – my guests LOVED it. It looked great, tasted great and we loved that we could have 2 and still be within our WW points

Ingredients:

1 8-oz. pack neufchâtel cheese (basically the same as low-fat cream cheese)
1/2c fat free greek yogurt
2 Tbsp mayonnaise (the real kind – this will give you the perfect texture to make it feel non-lightened)
1/2 c shredded mexican blend cheese (low fat if you prefer)
1/2 c parmesan
1/2 can diced green chilis (2 oz)
2 fresh jalapeños, seeded and minced
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 c panko bread crumbs
1 Tbsp butter, melted.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 F. In a medium bowl, blend together neufchâtel cheese, yogurt, and mayo until smooth.
Stir in 1/2 c mexican cheeses, 1/4 c of the parmesan, diced chilis, minced jalapeños, salt, and pepper.
Remove dip to an oven-safe container (I just used a pie pan). Mix panko bread crumbs with melted butter and remaining parmesan, sprinkle mixture over top.
Bake for 20 min, then switch to the broiler for 3 additional minutes to make the top extra golden brown.
