Jalepeno Popper Chicken

Here's what you'll need for this tasty dish:

• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• For the jalapeno popper topping:
• 3 slices bacon, diced
• 2 jalapenos, deveined, deseeded and diced
• ¼ cup diced onion
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• For the topping:
• ½ cup crushed butter crackers (1/2 sleeve)
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted

And here's the instructions on how to prepare them:

1. Preheat oven to 425º F. Place chicken breasts in a small casserole dish and bake until juices run clear when pricked, about 45 minutes.
2. While chicken is baking, prepare jalapeno popper topping for chicken. Add bacon, jalapenos, and onions to a small skillet and fry until bacon is crispy and jalapenos and onions are tender. Remove from heat and add to a small mixing bowl. Add cream cheese, mayonnaise or yogurt, and cheeses to mixing bowl and cream together with bacon mixture until well-combined.
3. Remove chicken from oven and reduce oven heat to 350º F. Spread jalapeno popper topping on top of chicken until well-covered.
4. For the topping, mix together crushed crackers, cheese, and melted butter. Sprinkle on top of jalapeno popper topped chicken. Bake until crackers are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
5. Serve warm.

This would be a great make-ahead recipe.  You could precook the chicken the night before and then save yourself some time on the day you make it.  It really is not a difficult recipe to make and the whole family would love it!  You also could adjust the heat by leaving in some of the seeds from the jalepenos.
