Gluten Free Jalapeño Popper Chicken

If there is one thing I miss cooking since Alex found out he has a gluten allergy, it is something with a good crunch! This recipe has that and so much more! It is packed full of flavor! I adapted this recipe from Aunt Bee’s Recipes. Not only is it gluten free, but it is also low carb and Keto friendly. Alex has been following a Keto diet that replaces carbs with fat and this recipe is by far his favorite!

Ingredients:

4 boneless chicken breasts

1 lb thick cut bacon

6 jalapeños, seeded and diced

1 yellow onion

1 cup shredded cheddar jack cheese

1/2 cup grated parmesan romano cheese

1/2 cup mayo

1 package softened cream cheese

Topping:

1 small bag pork rinds, crushed

1/2 cup parmesan romano cheese

4 T melted butter

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place chicken in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes.

After frying the bacon, drain some of the grease. Then add the onion and sauté until tender.
