Directions

1. Step 1In a large bowl, stir together cream cheese, cheddar, green onions, garlic, and jalapeño and season with salt and pepper.
2. Step 2Make a pocket on the side of each chicken breast, making sure not to slice entirely through the breast. Stuff chicken with cream cheese mixture. Place 3 slices of bacon on a cutting board. Place chicken breast on top and wrap chicken breast in bacon.
3. Step 3Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add bacon-wrapped chicken and season with more pepper. Cook until bacon is crispy and chicken no longer pink, 10 minutes per side, turning with tongs to make sure to get all sides of the bacon cooked.
