INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese (30g)
1/4 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (28g)
1 whole Jalapeño
2 tbsp Panko Breadcrumbs (14g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Place the chicken breast in the dish. Using a sharp knife, create a small pocket or shallow incision on the top of the chicken to hold the topping.
In a small bowl, mix together the light cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
Finely dice the jalapeño and stir it into the cheese mixture.
Spoon the cheese and jalapeño mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring it seeps into the incision.
Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top to create a crispy finishing layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is bubbly and golden.
Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving to enjoy the full flavor and texture.
