For a fresh take on fried jalapeno poppers, we stuff chicken, cheeses and jalapenos inside puff pastry, then bake it. —Sally Sibthorpe, Shelby Township, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped rotisserie chicken (about 10 ounces)
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) spreadable chive and onion cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 can (4 ounces) diced jalapeno peppers
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a bowl, mix chicken, cream cheese, pepper jack cheese and peppers.
  • 2. On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry; roll into a 13-in. square. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread half with chicken mixture to within 1/2 in. of edges. Fold remaining half over filling; press edges with a fork to seal.
