Directions

Prep 15 minCook 60 min
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400° F. Pat the deboned chicken thighs dry, season with salt and pepper, and arrange on a rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until nearly cooked through and the skin renders, about 40 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the chicken bakes, chop the bacon and cook in a skillet over medium heat until almost crisp. Add the chopped jalapeños (de-seeded if you prefer less heat) and sauté until softened.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and hot sauce until smooth and creamy. Season to taste.

  4. 4

    Let the chicken cool slightly, then transfer it to a 9x13-inch casserole dish (leave whole or cut into large chunks). Spread the creamy jalapeño-bacon mixture evenly over the chicken and top with the cheddar and mozzarella.

  5. 5

    Bake at 400°F until hot and bubbling, 10–15 minutes. Switch to broil and cook until the top is browned in spots, 2–3 minutes, watching closely. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
