If you want restaurant quality, you are sick, go to Safeway, and fill up. I use Emeril's recipe as a guide, but prefer baked over deep frying. My slight changes yield a tremendously good popper.

I have been trying to find a recipe for stuffed jalapenos with chicken, there was this little hole in the wall restaurant near my house where I grew up that has since closed down that served the hotest, biggest chicken stuffed fried jalapenos I have ever had and they were stuffed with chicken. I am about 99% sure there was little to no cheese in them and I doubt there was sour cream, nope I am sure of it...

This recipe seems to be the closest I have found to these peppers and since I have cooked most of Emeril's recipes I felt it only appropriate to post this here.

The chicken was shredded and had a fajita type flavor to it, they were big enough to take 4 bites from each one and they were fried and you dipped them in queso and they were sooooo yummy! Did i mention you had to take a drink after each bite?

Any help from anyone, especially Emeril, would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,
Kicking herself for not getting the recipe before they closed down...

1st off, if you dont understand the capsaicin level in a jalapeno; you should not be cooking.

This recipe is decent but you gotta look at it as a guide. Screw his emeril essence; if you dont like it use some cumin and paprika; or garlic and onion powder.

And why the hell Wouldnt you use fresh produce?! It's delicious and crisp. If you cant handle fresh produce you shouldnt be cooking either.

Its got great finger food potential and definitely a crowd pleaser; I dont care what these haters say.

made these for a party recently and they were a huge hit. I paired them with a creamy ranch sour cream dip to cool them down a bit because they were super spicy.

First off DONT BOTHER, I was looking forward to some restaurant quality poppers what i got instead were greasy flavorless waste of money. Emerils "essence" does nothing against the spice of the jalapenos, actually the filling does nothing against the spice either. Using the fresh peppers was a mistake as they are far to big to be used as poppers. Frankly Ive been using food network for close to 5 years and over that time ive come across some dud recipes (most of them Emerils, guess i should have known but nothing so gut wrenching as these, i actually registered an account for the sole purpose of reviewing this recipe, it was just that BAD.

I have never had a complain about any recipe on this site, I love the Food Network and Emeril, but I experienced some serious problems just trying to CLEAN my jalapenos....there should be a WARNING on this recipe to wear gloves when deseeding/cutting the jalapenos.

I was in excrutiating pain on my hands and face, in my nose and eyes, from the oils and fumed from the jalapenos getting on me. I had to call an ear, nose and throat doctor to tell me how to get rid of the pain... it lasted for over 40 minutes until the doctor told me to soak my face and hands in a big bowl of salt water.

Needles to say, I didn't even get to make the poppers...... I find it irresponsible not to warn us that somethin glike this could happen from deseeding the jalapenos.

THIS IS A GREAT RECIPE FOR PARTIES WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. IT TASTED GREAT BUT INSTEAD OF USING FRESH JALAPENOS YOU SHOULD TRY USING PICKLED JALAPENOS. IT GIVES IT A MORE ZING AND A ZANG TO THE CREAM CHEESE

These are the best poppers i've ever had. I used giant jalapenos also, so it was like a meal in itself.
