INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170 g)
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese (28 g)
1/4 cup shredded Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese (28 g)
1 Jalapeño Pepper
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs (15 g)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Place the chicken breast in the baking dish. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, mix together the light cream cheese, diced jalapeño (remove seeds if you prefer less heat), and half of the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese.
Spread the jalapeño cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the chicken breast.
Sprinkle the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese layer, then top with the remaining cheddar cheese to form a crispy layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the topping is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and serve warm.
