01 -

All the creamy spicy flavors of jalapeno poppers without the carb heavy breading
Completely meal prep friendly and actually tastes better after sitting overnight
Takes 15 minutes to throw together but tastes like you put in way more effort

02 -

The cream cheese must be truly soft or you will fight lumps forever and nobody wants that texture
Letting it sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour lets the flavors meld together beautifully
Fold the ingredients gently instead of aggressively mixing to keep the chicken from getting mushy

03 -

Chill your bowl for 10 minutes before mixing to help keep everything cold while you work
Cut everything to roughly the same size so you get all flavors in every single bite
