Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and spread the cheese mixture evenly over each breast.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
