Instructions

Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Lightly spray a 9×13 casserole dish with oil.

Step 2:
Place the cubed chicken breasts in the bottom of the casserole dish.
Season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3:
Mix the chicken around to coat it well with all the seasonings.

Step 4:
Add the cream cheese and heavy cream to the casserole dish.
Mix as much as possible to coat the chicken evenly — it will melt and spread beautifully while baking.

Step 5:
Sprinkle the diced jalapeños evenly over the chicken mixture.

Step 6:
Top everything with the shredded mature cheddar cheese.

Step 7:
Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through and the casserole is bubbling.

Step 8:
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the cooked, chopped bacon over the top.

Step 9:
Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy, spicy goodness!
