INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 medium Jalapeño Pepper
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
2 tbsp Almond Flour
1 large Egg White
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in the chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
In a small bowl, mix the light cream cheese with chopped jalapeño (reserve a few slices for topping), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Stuff the chicken breast with the cream cheese mixture evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg white and almond flour to create a light binding mixture for the crispy topping.
Place the stuffed chicken on a lined baking sheet. Spoon the egg white and almond flour mixture over the top of the chicken, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top and add the reserved jalapeño slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the topping is lightly crisped.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a couple of minutes, and serve warm.
