Enjoy a zesty twist on classic chicken with a creamy, cheesy jalapeño popper topping and a satisfyingly crispy finish. This baked dish combines lean protein with a burst of spice and a crunchy layer that elevates the flavor profile for a deliciously balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
1 oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 Jalapeño
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast without cutting through completely.
In a small bowl, combine the reduced fat cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and finely chopped jalapeño. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Stuff the cheese mixture evenly into the pocket of each chicken breast. Season the outside lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a separate small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with freshly chopped parsley.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top to create a crispy layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the topping is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
