4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon barbecue seasoning

  • Combine cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, jalapenos, garlic powder, and barbecue seasoning in a bowl. Mix well until evenly combined.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.40

  • To make the chicken breasts even more flavorful, marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have cream cheese, you can substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • For a crispy coating, bread the chicken breasts in panko breadcrumbs before baking.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or barbecue sauce.
