Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the pepper jack cheese, 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese, half of the cooked bacon, jalapenos and garlic.
- Tenderize each chicken breast with the flat part of a meat mallet until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
- Season the chicken breasts all over with the salt, pepper and paprika.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture onto one half of each chicken breast, folding over and placing into the baking dish. Filling might start to fall out and this is fine.
- Bake the chicken uncovered for 25 minutes, check the internal temp for 165°F.
- Remove and top with the sour cream and then remaining 1/2 cup of the pepper jack cheese, shredded cheddar cheese and remaining crumbled bacon. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with the lime wedges and avocado.
