Spicy tikka chicken jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon, perfect for entertaining or game day.
Ingredients:
  • 4 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1 tablespoon chicken masala powder
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1.5 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 14 large jalapeno peppers
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (such as Philadelphia®), softened
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages bacon
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, mix together yogurt, garam masala, chicken masala, coriander, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Let it sit.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into small strips and combine them with the tikka marinade in a bowl. Ensure the chicken is well coated, then cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to develop a rich flavor profile. Marinating longer enhances the taste even more.
  • Preheat the oven to a sizzling 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and set up a cooling rack on a baking tray.
  • Hold each jalapeno firmly, snap off the stems with a quick twist, slice them in half lengthwise, then use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds and ribbing, being careful not to remove the white stem area.
  • Fill jalapeno halves generously with creamy, delightful cream cheese using a teaspoon. Top each with a flavorful strip of tikka chicken, then carefully wrap each in a savory slice of bacon. Arrange on the baking sheet.
  • Roast in the oven until the bacon is golden and crispy, approximately 40 minutes.
