INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 medium Jalapeño Pepper
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Crackers (crushed)
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly the chicken breast to create a pocket for the filling. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped jalapeño pepper, reduced-fat cream cheese, and low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until well blended.
Spoon the jalapeño and cheese mixture into the pocket of each chicken breast, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.
Press the crushed whole wheat crackers lightly on top of each filled chicken breast to create a crispy topping.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a couple of minutes, and serve warm.
