Jalapeño popper chicken casserole

I should add, one could easily say this serves 16 and divide the macros by half.

I got halfway through my serve tonight when the satiety signalling kicked my fork out of my hand. Protein + fat FTW!

This looks incredible!!

FTW = For The Win (I find protein plus fat the most satiating). Thought I better clarify in case you thought FTW meant something different :blush:

Thighs every time, surely?

You Ozzies can cuss like sailors so I wasn’t sure…:wink:

Actually I knew what you meant

We choose breast if it’s cheaper- we are on a budget and all the fat in the bacon and cheese balances the macros out. I love it when thigh is on special though, it’s the yummiest meat to use in this dish!

@Alecmcq forced me weigh in on his thigh supremacy/breast hate speech thread by posting that link. Don’t worry Moo, I got your back. :cowboy_hat_face:

I made this a couple of hours ago, Mon, and had to write to tell you that it’s 100% fabulous. Oh my goodness! Creamy, cheesy, spicy deliciousness.

Winner!

I’m so glad you liked it! Great description- it is indeed all those things. I made a big tray of it a few nights ago and will be eating it for dinner most nights this week :yum:

I just put a pan in the oven. Question - how do I cut, core and slice jalapnenos without coughing my head off? I do run cold water over them and still the oil gets to me. I even have this issue with serrano chiles. Just wondering if there is a secret that I don’t know about.

I am looking forward to dinner!

Try using jarred pickled Jalapeños. Or, don’t breathe! :cowboy_hat_face:

Sorta late here. Interesting prices though. Here in the US west coast, thighs are the same price or cheaper than breasts and if getting bone in they are definitely cheaper. It was a nice surprise when we went keto. I assume the breasts were more due to demand and the low fat mantra of decades past. I’m still crossing my fingers that it doesn’t reverse with breasts become cheaper than thighs and legs. :grimacing:

Edit: Oh, we are making jalapeño poppers today, not the casserole, but still excited to try something new!

Where I live Legs…$0.89 lb, Thighs…$1.19 lb, Breast…$2-3.00 lb.
This is at discount grocery stores and some bigger chains can be more expensive. Breast prices can be significantly more than I listed too.

Dark meat for the deal!

I also ALWAYS buy bone in, I can bone a dozen thighs in five minutes :grin::rofl:

Wow. Nice prices. Here $2.99 lb for Safeway brand boneless thighs and breasts. $2.00 for bone in breasts. $1.69 for bone in thighs. Leg quarters are in between, more than thighs but less than breasts. For organic or grass fed or free range it’s between $6-8 per lb. We watch for sales on that!
