How to make Low Carb Jalapeno Popper Chicken
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 425 degrees.

Step 3: In the meantime, fry the bacon until crispy. Set the bacon aside. In the same pan, add the onions and saute until soft. Take off the heat when done.
Step 4: Combine the crispy bacon, onions, jalapenos, cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese until well blended.
Step 5: Take the chicken from the oven and adjust the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Step 6: On the entire chicken breast, spread the jalapeno popper mixture, covering well the whole meat. Return to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the topping begins to brown and get bubbly.
Step 7: To make the crumb topping, combine the crushed pork skins, Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Sprinkle this over the jalapeno popper and broil for a few minutes until the skins are pork skins are browned.
