Instructions: Warm the oven up to 190C 375F. Put cream cheese, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix them together. Spread the cream cheese mixture out evenly on the inside of each half of the jalapeo. Cover each half of a jalapeno with a chicken breast and wrap it in a bacon slice. If needed, use toothpicks to hold it in place. Put chicken breasts that have been stuffed on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Put it in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bacon is golden and the chicken is cooked all the way through. Take out the toothpicks before serving.
