Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts on a clean surface and use a sharp knife to cut a slit horizontally through the center of each breast, creating a pocket.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the cream cheese and jalapeño mixture, dividing it evenly among the breasts. Press down gently to seal the openings.
- Season both sides of the stuffed chicken breasts with additional salt, pepper, and paprika, if desired.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, remove the Jalapeño Popper Chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional diced jalapeños or fresh herbs if desired
