SPICY JALAPENO CHICKEN
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min
This dish adds a little pep to your regular old chicken! Not too spicy, but just enough for some zestful chicken!
Ingredients
1 lb Boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 slices cooked and crumbled turkey bacon
2-3 fresh jalapeno’s, diced
1/2 cup Plain low fat Greek yogurt (or low fat cream cheese, softened) or dairy free cream cheese
1/2 cup low fat Shredded cheddar cheese or feta or follow your heart dairy free cheese
1/8 cup Grated parmesan cheese or dairy free parmesan
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Onion powder
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a large baking pan with cooking spray, (no exact size needed, just big enough to fit four chicken breasts). Set aside. Place chicken breasts in a large ziplock bag, and lightly pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin, (this tenderizes the chicken breasts and makes them all even thickness, which helps for even cooking and tender chicken! You could also cut them into thinner breasts with a knife.)
To make the topping, mix the rest of the ingredients, (everything except for the chicken breast) in a small bowl and stir combine.
Place chicken breasts in baking pan and brush yogurt mixture evenly over chicken breasts, covering the tops and the sides evenly.
Bake chicken for 25 minutes, (or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle.) Turn oven up to 425 degrees, and bake for 5 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and enjoy with salad or veggie of choice!'
