How To Make stuffed jalapenos w/ chipotle ranch dipping sauce

• 1

  Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F).
• 2

  For the dipping sauce, stir together first 3 ingredients. Cover and refrigerate to blend flavors.
• 3

  Cut the stems off jalapenos and, using an old-fashioned vegetable peeler, clean out each one, being sure to remove all seeds and pith. Set aside.
• 4

  With a very sharp knife, chop up the chicken very finely and place in a mixing bowl. Add the jack cheese and stir to combine. Stir in salt and pepper to taste.
• 5

  Stuff each hollowed pepper with the chicken/cheese mixture to the top of the pepper. Wrap each stuffed pepper with a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• 6

  Place peppers upright on a pepper roasting rack and bake until the bacon is crispy and the stuffing reaches a temperature of 170, about 30 minutes. (If you don't have a pepper rack, be sure to wind part of the bacon strip over the opening of the pepper so all the cheese won't ooze while they are cooking.)
• 7

  Pat excess bacon grease, if necessary, and serve with dipping sauce.
