– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 large egg

Instructions

Creating Cheesy Jalapeño Ranch Chicken Poppers is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until it’s no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Drain any excess fat.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, diced jalapeños, and ranch seasoning. Mix until well incorporated.
4. Prepare Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Set aside.
5. Form Poppers: Using your hands, take a small amount of the chicken mixture and shape it into a ball or a small patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
6. Coat in Breadcrumbs: Dip each popper into the egg wash, then roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated poppers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
8. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the poppers to enhance browning.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
10. Serve Warm: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
