How to Make It
Step 1
Shred the cheddar cheese. Add the shredded cheddar and cream cheese to a bowl. Mix to combine.
Step 2
We recommend you wear gloves to protect your hands when handling jalapeno peppers. Cut the jalapeno peppers in half, lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Stuff each half with some of the prepared cheese mixture. Set it aside.
Step 3
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Put the two jalapeno halves together and place them inside the pocket.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Tightly wrap each chicken breast with bacon and place in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Serve immediately.
