Instructions

1. Mix the whipped garlic and herb cream cheese, cheddar, Oaxaca or mozzarella, and bacon bits until well combined.
2. Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture and set aside.
3. Season both sides of each pounded chicken breast with the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Place a stuffed jalapeño half in the centre of each chicken breast and wrap the chicken around it so the filling is fully enclosed.
5. Wrap each chicken bundle with 2 slices of bacon, seam side down.
6. Put the chicken on the air fryer rack.
7. Air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. For extra crispy bacon, air fry 2-3 minutes longer.
8. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing.
