Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 1 cup jalapeños, chopped
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the diced chicken, chopped jalapeños, ranch seasoning, and salt and pepper.
  2. Form the mixture into small balls or patties.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Fry the chicken poppers until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Serving
  1. Serve with a creamy dip on the side.

Notes

Chill the mixture if poppers are falling apart. Experiment with different cheeses for added flavor. Medium heat is crucial for even cooking. Can bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes as a healthier option.
