INGREDIENTS
1 piece (6 oz) Chicken Breast (~170g)
1 ounce Pepper Jack Cheese (~28g)
1 small Fresh Jalapeño (~14g)
1 teaspoon Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (~4.5g)
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon Cumin
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in the side of the chicken breast by slicing horizontally, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
Finely dice the fresh jalapeño (remove seeds if you prefer less heat) and mix it with the pepper jack cheese in a small bowl along with garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Stuff the chicken breast pocket generously with the cheese and jalapeño mixture, pressing gently to close the opening.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breast for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
