How to Make Cheese And Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken Breast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Butterfly each chicken breast: Using a sharp knife, cut a horizontal slit almost all the way through each breast, creating a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese into each chicken pocket.
- Add 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to each pocket.
- Add 1 tablespoon of finely diced jalapeños to each pocket.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, and a pinch of black pepper over each chicken breast.
- Wrap 2 slices of center-cut bacon around each chicken breast.
- Secure each bacon piece with a toothpick near the opening of the pouch to keep the fillet together.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
