Jalapeños seem to be everywhere lately, and for good reason. They can be used for many things and poppers are the classic go-to dish for many. Now I have had some delicious poppers and decided to liven up some chicken with the mix! I made this with salsa instead of cream cheese to lighten the calorie load a bit. If you want to lessen the spice punch a little bit you can substitute the pepper jack cheese with some mozzarella or cheddar. This is easy to put together and the perfect dish for someone who loves a lot of spice in their life! I served this with a side of Roasted Red Potatoes!
