Ingredients
  

  • 32 ounce boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 ounce bacon
  • 3 medium jalapeno pepper sliced and optionally deseeded
  • 12 ounce cream cheese
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup hot sauce
  • 4 ounce cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 ounce mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Debone the chicken thighs and season well with salt and pepper. Place on a cooling rack over a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.
  • After about 20 minutes, start preparing the filling. Chop the bacon into pieces and add them to a pan over medium heat.
  • Once the bacon is mostly crisped, add the jalapeños to the pan and let them cook down.
  • Once the jalapeños are soft and cooked, add the cream cheese, mayo, and hot sauce to the pan. Mix to combine and season to taste.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let cool slightly. Once cooled, remove the skins from the chicken.
  • Transfer the thighs to the bottom of a casserole dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture over them and top with the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
  • Bake for 10–15 minutes. Broil for an additional 3–5 minutes to finish. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy!
