Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Chicken

I have been eying this recipe for a while! I am so so glad I finally made it!  I slightly adapted it from Prevention RD and it was delicious.


1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 tsp taco seasoning
1 egg
4 oz  cream cheese
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1-2 jalapeno peppers
2 skinless boneless chicken breasts

Heat oven to 375.  Grease a glass dish and set to the side. Remove the seeds and ribs and finely chop the jalapeno.  In a medium size mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and diced jalapeno. In a bowl combine the bread crumbs and taco seasoning. In a separate bowl whisk the egg.  Using a knife, cut a pocket into the chicken breasts.  Fill with the jalapeno popper mixture and use toothpicks to secure.  Dip the chicken breast into the egg mixture then roll in the breadcrumbs.  Place in the dish.  Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
