INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese
0.5 oz Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs
1 medium Fresh Jalapeño, diced
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking dish.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese with half of the diced jalapeño.
Slice a pocket into the side of the chicken breast and gently fill with the cream cheese and jalapeño mixture.
Place the stuffed chicken in the baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
In another bowl, combine the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs with the remaining diced jalapeño. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the chicken for a crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and crisp.
Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes, then serve warm.
