For an extra layer of flavor, try using a smoked cheddar cheese. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños more thoroughly. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth and creamy filling. To prevent the bacon from shrinking too much, consider par-cooking it for a few minutes before wrapping the chicken.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. (5 minutes)
02
StepCombine Cheddar cheese, jalapeños, cream cheese, barbecue seasoning, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Mix well until evenly combined. (5 minutes)
03
StepCut a deep pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Fill the pocket of each chicken breast with cream cheese mixture. Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 3 bacon slices and place on the prepared baking sheet. (15 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. (45 minutes)
