Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

For the Popper Layer

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 3 Jalapenos, Seeded & Diced
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder

For the Topping

  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 8 slices Bacon, Cooked & Crumbled
  • 1 Jalapeno, Thinly Sliced
  • 2 tbsp Green Onions, Sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make thin cutlets so they cook quickly and stay juicy. Rub them with the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, then arrange them in a single layer in the baking dish.
  • In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar, diced jalapenos, garlic powder and onion powder until smooth and well combined.
  • Spread the popper mixture evenly over the chicken, covering it from edge to edge.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar, then scatter the crumbled bacon and jalapeno slices over the top.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with the green onions and serve.
