SOUR CREAM JALAPENO CHICKEN

We have a bush full of jalapenos and so I have been desperate to find recipes where I can use some of them since these start to get a little old after a while. If you live within earshot of me and would like some jalapenos, please let me know!

This recipe was actually really delicious and below is my version of it.

2 slices of bacon
2 chicken breasts
1 jalapeno
1 small can diced green chilies
flour
chili powder
cumin
red pepper
kosher salt
garlic powder
1/2 cup sour cream
cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 400. Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and flatten with a mallet to help them cook more evenly. Heat bacon in a medium man until crispy and then mince. Seed the jalapeno and chop finely. Next, combine flour, chili powder, cumin, red pepper, kosher salt and garlic powder. Take 1/3 of this mixture and combine with 1/2 cup sour cream, the bacon, chilies and jalapenos. Use the rest of the spices to coat the chicken breasts. Heat your skillet to medium-high, then added a couple tablespoons olive oil. Quickly sear both sides of the chicken until the spice mixture browns into an intense flavor. Remove the chicken breasts to a small baking dish and cover with the sour cream mixture as well as some shredded cheddar cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
