Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2-3 fresh jalapenos, seeds removed and finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Creamed Corn:

2 cups frozen sweet corn (or fresh, if available)

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to enhance sweetness)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or chives for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamed Corn:

    - In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the frozen corn and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

      - Pour in the heavy cream, and mix well. Season with salt, pepper, and optional sugar. Let it simmer on low while you prepare the chicken.

        Prepare the Chicken:

          - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

            - In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapenos, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

              Stuff the Chicken:

                - Take each chicken breast and slice a pocket into the side, being careful not to cut all the way through.

                  - Generously fill each pocket with the cheesy jalapeno mixture. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

                    Coat the Chicken:

                      - In a shallow dish, add the breadcrumbs. Coat each stuffed chicken breast with olive oil, then press into the breadcrumbs on all sides until fully covered.

                        Cook the Chicken:

                          - Heat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

                            - Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

                              Finish the Creamed Corn:

                                - After the chicken has baked, stir the creamed corn one last time, adjusting the seasoning as needed. Remove from heat.

                                  Serve:

                                    - On a plate, scoop a generous portion of creamed corn and place a stuffed chicken breast on top. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or chives.
