Mexican Chicken with Jalapeno Popper Sauce

Recipe from Mommie Cooks

What you need:

    • 3 chicken breasts
    • Cumin
    • Chili powder
    • Salt
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 3 jalapenos, seeded and chopped
    • 4 oz. cream cheese
    • 1/2 cup chicken broth
    • 3 slices bacon
    • 1 tbsp. diced green onions
    • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar

Directions:

    1. Cook bacon until crisped. Reserve 1 tbsp. grease and drain bacon on paper towel-lined plate. Crumble bacon once it's cooled.
    2. Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, and salt on each chicken breast.
    3. Bake chicken in oven at around 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked all the way through. I like to flip mine over once through baking.
    4. Meanwhile, add jalapenos to pan with reserved bacon grease. Let cook for a couple of minutes.
    5. Add in garlic and cook until fragrant.
    6. Add broth and deglaze pan. If you like a thinner sauce, add a little more broth.
    7. Add cream cheese; let melt completely and then add cheddar cheese.
    8. Lastly add in crumbled bacon and green onions.
    9. Serve cheese sauce over chicken breasts.
