Stuffed Jalepenos
whole jalepenos
1 can chunk chicken
1 pkg cream cheese
1 small onion finely chopped
1 tsp fresh chopped garlic
1 package egg roll wrappers
Oil for frying
1 pair rubber gloves
*you can also make these with jack cheese, pepper cheese, just slice a piece of cheese and stuff it into the jalepeno before wrapping
Make sure you put on the rubber gloves first when cleaning these and preparing.
Cut top end off jalepeno, make a lengthwise slice into and scrape out seeds/membrane with small knife or I used my thumbnail
Rinse well until all seeds are gone.
Mix cream cheese together with the rest of the ingredients.
Stuff jalepenos with cream cheese mixture. Over stuffing is fine.
Wrap jalepeno in egg roll.
Heat up oil over medium heat... drop jalepenos into hot oil. They'll rise to the top when they're done on one side, roll over to other side for a minute or till golden brown. Drain. Cool and enjoy!!
If you eat a really spicy one and you can't get the spice to calm down, eat a piece of bread. It will absorb the oil/spice of the jalepeno.
Tuesy: Thank you for the recipe. I've made poppers for years (actually posted my recipe about a year ago on this thread) but yours has meat and onions in them and I think my DH would probably like those additions. I plan to try it.
To seed and remove the membrane from the jalapenos I use a 1/4 tsp. metal measuring spoon. It works perfectly and I don't get so much of the hot oils on my hands. I also stuff peppers with peanutbutter! MY FAV! I've never wrapped the WHOLE pepper in the won ton skins but I have ground up the peppers and mixed them with the cream cheese and put a big dollop of this mixture in the won ton and roll it up and deep fry them. That's my DH's favorite. I love new recipies so thank you for this one.
