Servings: 4
Net Carbs: ~3g per serving

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 jalapeños, finely diced
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• 8 slices bacon
• Toothpicks (soaked in water for 10 mins)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Filling:
   Mix cream cheese, cheddar, jalapeños, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
3. Stuff Chicken:
   Slice a pocket into each chicken breast horizontally.
