Air-Fryer Jalapeño Poppers

The perfect football-party food, classic jalapeño poppers get a crispy upgrade in an air fryer. Cream cheese tempers the just-right hint of heat from the pepper and Buffalo sauce. To save time, you can stuff the peppers ahead of the party and fry them just before serving.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup finely chopped cooked chicken breast (about 1 1/4 oz.)
• ¼ cup finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (1 oz.)
• ¼ cup finely chopped scallion
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
• 4 large jalapeño peppers, halved lengthwise (about 1 1/2 oz. each)
• 2 tablespoons whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
• Cooking spray

Directions

Combine cream cheese, chicken, Cheddar, scallion, hot sauce and dill in a medium bowl; stir until well combined. Clean seeds and membranes from jalapeños and stuff evenly with the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Place the stuffed jalapeños in the basket of an air fryer; coat with cooking spray. Cook at 370 degrees F until the tops are browned and the jalapeños are tender, about 10 minutes.
