A few days ago, my friend April, posted a photo of jalapeno pepper poppers she had just made. They looked delicious and the recipe sounded quick and easy. I had most of the ingredients on hand and what I didn’t have, I was able to pick up from the grocery store.
The day before I saw April’s post, my husband harvest around 50 Anaheim peppers from our garden. I decided to loosely follow April’s recipe using Anaheim peppers in place of jalapenos.
Before I got started, I decided I was going to make a large batch of Anaheim pepper poppers so we could enjoy leftovers for lunch a few days. I am sharing with you the recipe I used to make 44 pepper poppers….22 whole peppers. If you don’t need that many, reduce the recipe.
Ingredients:
22 whole peppers, sliced in half and cleaned out
2 cups of your chosen pepper, diced into small pieces
3 cups of softened cream cheese
1 1/2 cups of shredded parmesan cheese, divided
1 pound of cooked and chopped bacon
4 chicken breasts cooked and chopped
2 tsp Italian seasoning Mix
2 tsp dill weed
2tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
Directions:
Add your diced peppers, cream cheese, 1 cup of parmesan cheese, bacon, chicken breast, and seasonings into a large bowl and mix well. Spoon the mixture into your pepper slices. Once all of your pepper slices have been filled, top with the remaining 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese. Place the pan of pepper poppers in your oven under the broiler. Watch carefully! All of your ingredients have been cooked so you are just broiling until the top of the pepper poppers becomes a golden brown. It took my pepper poppers about 5 minutes to brown. Ovens will vary though.
That’s it! Quick and easy, right?!
I absolutely love how these Anaheim pepper poppers turned out. This is a recipe I will for sure be making again!
Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.

I havent tried the jalapeno poppers yet. Not sure how hot anaheim peppers are. I have contemplated using banana peppers which are much more mild. I would make a few of the hot for others but I think bananas peppers would work too and they are shaped right. Love the ingredients in them, and yours look good.
