Ingredients

• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
• toothpicks
• 2 tablespoons canned diced jalapeno peppers
• ½ cup shredded habanero-flavored Cheddar cheese, or to taste
• ⅓ cup mayonnaise, or as needed
• ⅓ cup sour cream, or as needed
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, cooked, well drained
• 8 slices jalapeno bacon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine habanero-flavored Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, feta cheese, and diced jalapenos in a bowl; set aside.

Step 3

Spread out a layer of plastic wrap and place chicken breasts on top. Dribble a few drops of water on the chicken to ensure even pounding. Cover with another layer of plastic wrap and pound chicken breasts to about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thickness.

Step 4

Spread cheese mixture onto each chicken breast, add a thin layer of spinach, roll up, and secure with toothpicks.

Step 5

Microwave bacon for 1 minute, then wrap around stuffed breasts. Set in a baking dish.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 35 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 7

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler.

Step 8

Broil chicken, turning often, until bacon is crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
