Jalapeno popper chicken with roasted chili lime cauliflower
[AdSense-A]
Ingredients for 2 portions:
2 Chicken breast
4oz Cream Cheese
1-2 Jalapenos
3 slices of Bacon
Shredded Sharp Cheddar
1 head of Cauliflower
Trader Joe’s Chili-lime seasoning
Garlic powder
Paprika
Olive Oil
Lime (optional)
Cilantro (optional)
Directions for Chicken:
[AdSense-B]
-
Preheat oven to 375F
-
Fry some bacon. You want it floppy because it will cook more later
-
Dice up some jalapenos, as many as you would like. Add to about 4oz of cream cheese. Then add chopped up cooked bacon and mix together.
-
Butterfly chicken breasts and rub down both sides with bacon grease, paprika, and garlic powder. You can use oil instead if you want.
-
Place chicken on foil lined sheet pan and scoop on cream cheese mixture. Top with cheddar cheese. I leave these open faced instead of folding over so the chicken cooks more evenly and stays juicy.
-
Put pan in oven and cook for around 25 minutes.
-
Squeeze some lime juice on top and add some cilantro to finish
Directions for Cauliflower:
[AdSense-A]
-
Preheat oven to 375
-
Cut up cauliflower so the florets are somewhat uniform in size
-
In a big bowl, add olive oil, garlic powder, and chili-lime seasoning. Toss. You want all the cauliflower to visibly have the seasoning on it.
-
Spread onto sheet pan and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, flip half way through. You can cook these at 400-425 for less time, but I cooked them while cooking the chicken.
-
Squeeze some lime juice on top to finish them (this adds so much, do it)
Hope you guys enjoy!
