Jalapeño Chicken

I love spicy food (what a shocker right?) and this recipe combines all my favorite flavors: bacon, chicken, jalapeño and cheese! 
What is great about this recipe is that you can add/leave out some peppers to your own taste and the flavors still work together.
It can also work for kids by letting the sause on the side or making a simple cheese sauce instead. 

Ingredients:

• 3 Chicken Breasts
• A Sprinkle of Cumin per Breast
• A Sprinkle of Chili Powder per Breast
• A Sprinkle of Salt per Breast
• 2 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
• 3 jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped
• 120g of Cream Cheese
• 1 Cup of Chicken Broth
• 3 Slices of Bacon
• 3/4 Cup of Shredded Cheddar 
• 1 Tbsp of Fresh Cilantro, chopped + more for garnish

Directions:

1. Fry bacon until crisp. Sprinkle chicken with seasons. Remove bacon to paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess fat.
2. Add the chicken to the skillet. Cook turning every few minutes, until juices run clear and it is no longer pink. Remove and keep warm. 
3. Add chopped jalapenos to the skillet and cook for a couple of minutes, add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the chicken broth and  bring to a boil. 
4. Add cream cheese and stir until smooth. Stir in shredded cheese and bacon until the cheese is melted. Turn off heat and stir in cilantro. 
5. Serve chicken on a bed of Mexican rice and topped with sauce. Garnish with additional cilantro or guacamole if desired.
