INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 Jalapeño Pepper
1 oz Light Cream Cheese
1 oz Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
Spices: Garlic Powder, Salt, Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally. Season the inside lightly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Finely chop the jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat if preferred) and mix with light cream cheese and low-fat cheddar cheese in a small bowl.
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the cheese and jalapeño mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
Coat the outside of the chicken lightly with the panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle a bit more garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the top for extra flavor.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping turns golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
