Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x11-inch baking dish.

2 . Stage

Combine crushed crackers, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Place bread crumbs in a second bowl. Pour beaten eggs into a third bowl.

Pound each chicken breast with a tenderizer until thin. Place two strips of cream cheese and 1 tablespoon diced jalapeno on top of each breast.
