Ingredients

4
skinless boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
6 oz.
cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup
shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup
shredded cheddar
2
cloves garlic, minced
4
slices bacon, cut into 2" strips
3
jalapeños, thinly sliced

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 400º. Make 5 slits in each breast, being careful not to cut through completely. Transfer to a small baking sheet and season all over with salt and pepper.
2. Step 2In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Step 3Stuff each chicken breast with bacon, sliced jalapeños, and cream cheese mixture. Bake until bacon is crisp and chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 25 minutes.
