Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 2 pieces Jalapeños (seeded and finely diced)
- 8 slices Bacon
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set it aside.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket for the filling. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
Spoon an equal portion of the cheese mixture into each chicken breast pocket, spreading it evenly.
Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with two slices of bacon, ensuring the cheese filling stays enclosed. Use toothpicks as needed to secure the bacon in place.
Place the wrapped chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish with the seam side down.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the bacon is crispy. For extra crispy bacon, you can broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the toothpicks before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Chicken Bombs!
