A delightful twist on stuffed chicken, featuring a creamy and spicy filling.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create a pocket for the filling.
Be careful not to cut all the way through the chicken.
Dice the jalapeños and onion finely.
Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid irritation.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, diced jalapeños, and onion.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Stuff each chicken breast with the cream cheese mixture.
Use toothpicks to secure the opening if needed.
Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and place the stuffed chicken breasts inside.
Arrange the chicken breasts evenly for uniform cooking.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the chicken breasts.
Press the breadcrumbs gently to help them adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, covering with foil halfway through if needed.
Check the internal temperature to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
