Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Place jalapeno peppers on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high power until soft but still plump, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and discard seeds. Dice peppers.
- Mix diced peppers, Monterey Jack cheese, onion, cream cheese, garlic, and cumin together in a bowl.
- Make a pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut through the sides or bottom, as follows: Make a vertical slice in the top center of each breast, starting about 1/2 inch in from each edge. Starting inside the vertical slit, cut horizontally into the chicken breast in both directions; this should leave you with a nice pocket.
- Press 1/4 of the pepper-cheese mixture into each breast. Close and secure with toothpicks. Spray chicken breasts with cooking spray and season with salt.
- Place chicken on the preheated grill with toothpicks facing upwards. Grill for 12 minutes, then turn and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove toothpicks before serving.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality chicken breasts. Look for breasts that are plump and have a uniform color. Avoid breasts that are bruised or have any signs of spoilage.
- Use a sharp knife to butterfly the chicken breasts. This will help to ensure that the breasts cook evenly.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken breasts. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the breasts until they are just cooked through, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the onion jam ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to develop. The onion jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Chicken breasts filled with onion jam is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the onion jam is sweet and savory. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and impressive meal on the table in no time.
