Notes

House Seasoning/ GOPS

I found cheddar cheese in the supermarket yesterday, and I got an idea to make Jalapeño popper chicken. I saw a video somewhere that had the idea to stuff the chicken with the jalapeño, but I couldn’t remember where I saw it or how long ago. But I was able to find spicy peppers at the supermarket as well, they weren’t Jalapeños. But they did the job just fine, and I think they were more spicy than jalapeños!

Maybe I like my cheese a little too crunch!
