- 8 ounce cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2–3 jalapeños
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Take a piece of chicken and scoop a spoonful of the cheesy jalapeño filling onto it. Fold the chicken over the filling to encase it. Wrap a half slice of bacon around each stuffed chicken piece and secure it with a toothpick.
- Carefully place the bacon-wrapped chicken bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
- Once done, let them cool slightly and serve hot.
