How to make Jalapeno Popper Chicken Salad
Four cups of shredded chicken go into a bowl along with bacon, cheese, jalapenos, and green onions.
I made the bacon in my air fryer and crumbled it once it was cool.
While the bacon cooked I diced two jalapenos (minus the seeds) and some green onions.
Next, mix some cream cheese (at room temperature) and some mayo together.
I had the best luck with a hand mixer for about one minute.
Add this to the bowl with the chicken and other yumminess.
Then sprinkle with kosher salt, pepper, and mix it all together.
Taste for seasoning and it’s ready to serve!
