Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9 inch square baking dish (or similar size) with cooking spray.
- Make a deep cut into the side of each chicken breast half to form a pocket or 'purse'. Stuff 1/4 cup of cheese and about 1 tablespoon of the chilies onto each one. Close, and secure with a toothpick so that the cheese does not escape while in the oven. Place the stuffed chicken into the baking dish. Season with Fajita seasoning, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese and chilies over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the chicken juices run clear, and cheese is melted and lightly browned.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line large rimmed baking pan with cooking parchment paper.
- In 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Using slotted spoon, transfer to medium bowl. In same skillet, add onion and poblano chile; cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Transfer to bowl with bacon. Let stand 3 minutes. Add cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper; stir to combine.
- Cut pocket in each chicken breast by making a horizontal slit along thin long edge, being careful to not cut through to opposite side. Stuff each pocket with a quarter of the cream cheese filling (generous 1/4 cup). Press edges of chicken together to seal.
- Pour melted butter into shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, place bread crumbs. Season stuffed chicken breasts with remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Dip chicken into melted butter to coat both sides, then dip into bread crumbs to coat completely. Transfer to pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center (at least 165°F).

Steps:
- Combine cream cheese, shredded cheese, chiles, chili powder and slat and pepper. Place a generous dollop of mixture on each flattned chicken breast, then roll up. Place chicken rolls in the crockpot, seam side down. Top chicken breast rolls with remaining cheese mixture, soup, and enchilada sauce. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours.
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
- If you want a crispier crust on the chicken breasts, you can increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
- For a more flavorful filling, try using a combination of different cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- You can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as cooked bacon, chopped green chilies, or diced tomatoes.
- If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made chili sauce for the filling.
- Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Chili and cheese stuffed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
