5 strips bacon, cut in half legthwise
10toothpicks
1/2tspsmoked paprika
Instructions
Prepare the Jalapeño Poppers:
Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise. Using a small measuring teaspoon, carefully scoop out the seeds in the center of the jalapeno.
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken and the cashew queso. Mix until well combined.
Stuff each of the jalapeños with the "cheesy" chicken mixture. Next, wrap with a slice of the bacon and secure with a toothpick. Continue until all of the jalapeños are stuff. Sprinkle the prepared jalapeños with the smoked paprika.
Cook the Jalapeños:
Air Fryer Method: Preheat the airfryer at 375 for 5 minutes. Lay the prepared jalapeños in a single layer (you may need to do this in 2 batches depending on the airfryer you have). Cook until the bacon is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.
Oven Method: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the prepared jalapeños on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bacon is crispy and browned. Serve immediately.
