Preparation

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.

Prepare the Chicken
Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create a pocket for the filling.

Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Stuff the Chicken
Stuff each chicken breast with the cheese mixture, ensuring it is packed tightly.

Wrap with Bacon
Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with two slices of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
Cooking

Bake the Chicken
Place the wrapped chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.

Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Garnish and Serve
Chop fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the chicken. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top just before eating.
