Ingredients
- 3-4 large Chicken Breasts
- 1 4-oz can Roasted and Diced Jalapenos drained
- 4 oz Cream Cheese room temperature
- 1 Tablespoon Ranch Seasoning Mix
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
- 6 oz Monterey Jack Cheese sliced into 1" by 3" slices
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the soft cream cheese, drained jalapenos, and Ranch Seasoning Mix. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- Using a sharp knife, trim any excess fat and tendons from each chicken breast. Pat dry with paper towels, then make 6-7 slices into the chicken breast horizontally, about halfway through (making sure not to slice all the way through). Place into the prepared baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of the Monterey Jack Cheese, then wiggle the cheese down into the slices of chicken.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F in the thickest spot.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
