• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 jalapeños, sliced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 5-6 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add sliced jalapeños and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
5. In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth.

7. Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
