1
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
2
Prepare the Jalapeños
Wash the jalapeño peppers thoroughly. Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for less heat (if desired).
3
Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped chives, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
4
Stuff the Jalapeños
Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half until they are generously filled.
5
Oil the Jalapeños
Brush the outside of the stuffed jalapeños with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance grilling.

6
Grill the Jalapeños
Place the stuffed jalapeños on the preheated grill, cut side up. Close the grill lid and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the jalapeños are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7
Check for Doneness
Keep an eye on the jalapeños to avoid burning. You want the edges to be slightly charred and the cheese to be golden.
8
Remove from Grill
Once done, carefully remove the jalapeños from the grill using tongs and place them on a serving platter.
