Description
The goodness of a jalepeno popper inside a juicy chicken breast: the ultimate comfort food meal.
Ingredients
- 5 slices Bacon
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 1-½ cup Shredded Extra-Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Divided
- 1 whole Jalapeno, Diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, Thinly Sliced
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
- ½ teaspoons Spanish Smoked Paprika
- 6 whole Chicken Breasts
- 1 whole Jalapeno, Sliced
- Fresh Cilantro For Garnish
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425ºF and place bacon on a baking sheet. Cook for 15 minutes on each side, for a total of 30 minutes, until crispy. To save time, cook bacon the night before if desired.
Combine cream cheese, 1 cup of extra sharp cheddar cheese, diced jalapeno, garlic, 4 slices of crumbled bacon, salt, pepper, and paprika in a small bowl. Mix well.
Place large spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture in the middle of each chicken breast. Fold over and use a toothpick to hold in place.
Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF and bake for 30 minutes. At the halfway point, remove chicken from the oven, top with remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and the sliced jalapenos. Return to the oven to finish baking.
Serve with remaining crumbled bacon and fresh cilantro.
