Time 36m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Stir together the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and jalapenos in a small bowl.
  • Cut a pocket horizontally through the thickest side of each chicken breast, and fill with 1/4 of the cheese mixture. Secure with toothpicks.
  • Roll the chicken breasts in bread crumbs to coat. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
