Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • A dash of salt
  • A dash of pepper
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast shredded or chopped, about 6 ounces
  • 4 jalapeño peppers halved lengthwise and deseeded
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease an ovenproof cast-iron skillet.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in the hot sauce until fully incorporated, then fold in the shredded chicken.
  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into each jalapeño half. Arrange the filled peppers on the prepared baking sheet or skillet. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the tops.

  • Bake for about 15 minutes, until the jalapeños are tender and the cheese is melted. For a more golden, crispier top, place under the broiler for 1–2 minutes—watch carefully to prevent burning.
