Chicken Cordon Bleu Stuffed Jalapenos

Well now, doesn't that sound fancy! But truthfully this is just a great use of leftovers. I had a little cooked chicken, some ham in the freezer and a couple slices of swiss. Seems I always have jalapenos hanging around the fridge these days... Wa-la a great munchie was born! 

Chicken Cordon Bleu Stuffed Jalapenos
This isn't so much a recipe, just ratios:
2 parts chicken
1 part ham
1 1/2 parts swiss-more or less to taste
Panko for topping
Jalapenos, sliced in half and cleaned
-Small dice the meat and cheese, mix together.
-Stuff the peppers.
-Top with panko.
-Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
-Lightly sprinkle with kosher salt out of the oven if desired.
-Take a bite and love life:@)

 Notes:
  • If you don't have Swiss, American cheese is fine.
  • If they aren't getting brown after 20 minutes, place them under the broiler for a minute or two.
  • To give you a general idea of amounts, I used one chicken tender and following the ratios it stuffed five 3" jalapeno halves.
