Keto Jalapeno Popper Chicken – Important Tips
You can make this amazing casserole with turkey bacon and low-fat cream cheese.
Sub diced green chilies or bell pepper or a combination of both for the jalapeño peppers.
Pork skins – They are fluffier than pork rinds, also known as chicharron and they usually weigh about 2 ounces. You can omit them completely and make with just the cheese topping with cooked & crumbled bacon.
Or, sub them with some lime nachos, french’s fried onion rings, garlic pita chips crushed with the butter and cheese.
For the mayo, use plain yogurt instead.
