Jalapeno Popper Chicken

I've been trying to make more "Calorie Conscious" meals - this one fits the bill.  The jalapenos help replace the flavor - plus the Panko makes it "crunch"!

4 – 5 ounce chicken breasts
4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup part-skim shredded Cheddar or Colby cheese
1 tsp olive oil
4 jalapenos, chopped (ribs and seeds removed)
1/2 cup bread crumbs
3/4 cup Panko
2 tsp taco seasoning
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 F and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add jalapenos and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Mix together cream cheese, shredded cheese, and jalapeno peppers. Use a knife to make a pocket in each chicken breast.

Mix together bread crumbs, Panko and taco seasoning on a plate. Whisk egg in a separate bowl. Dip chicken into egg and then into bread crumbs. Repeat with all chicken breasts and place in baking dish.

Bake for 30 minutes. Serve. Yield: 4 servings.
