So many people love jalapeno poppers and have created many delicious recipes inspired by them. So one night I put together a gorgeous savory meal with a few of these recipes to make a Jalapeno popper themed dinner.
Menu
Jalapeno Popper Chicken Breast
Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
Pasta with Grape Tomatoes
Crisp Sweet Corn
This four items made a colorful and mouthwatering meal. It takes about an hour and half to do but in the end it was worth it. It was a big hit with my family and will definitely be on the menu again soo. You can make all these recipes and divide it up in meal prep containers for lunches or dinners later.
Recipes For Jalapeno Popper Themed Dinner:
Pasta with Grape Tomatoes
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
1 pint of grape tomatoes cut in half (about 2 cups)
1/4 to 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
salt to taste
1 pound of multi-colored Rotini pasta, cooked and drained
1/2 – 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 large torn up basil leaves
Put olive oil and garlic in sauce pan. Cook on medium heat till the garlic is lightly browned then add tomatoes, salt, and pepper flakes. Sauté till tomatoes release juices and are soft, around 5 minutes or so. After the sauce is done pour over the pasta and toss till coated. Then add parmesan cheese and toss one more time. Then enjoy.

Then I paired all of these recipes with a steam bag of crispy sweet corn. The meal was finished. I took the leftovers and packed them into meal prep containers for later. Depending on the size of the chicken breasts in the jalapeno popper chicken I had to cut them in half.
