Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (2-4 breasts, depending on size)
- 4 ounces Challenge cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños diced
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 peppers red, yellow, green, or a combination, seeded and sliced
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 12-16 ounces green beans washed and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray an 18x25” rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Stir together cream cheese, jalapenos, and cheddar cheese.
- Slice each chicken breast open slightly and stuff 1/4 of the cheese mixture into the center of each breast. Season breasts with salt and pepper.
- Toss peppers, onions, and green beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken in the center of the prepared baking sheet and the vegetables around the outside. Bake until the thickest part of the chicken is no longer pink and the vegetables are cooked, stirring the vegetables halfway through baking. This will take 25-35 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken.

Notes
- Make sure your chicken breasts are uniform sized for even cooking.
- Choose your favorite vegetables, but ones that stand up to the high heat of the oven work best (peppers, onion, green beans, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, etc)
- If you like your veggies less done, start the chicken for about 10 minutes then add the vegetables later.
- This recipe is low carb and gluten free, making it the perfect healthy chicken dinner.
