Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken

I made this for supper tonight and it turned out rather tasty. I was afraid it would turn out to have too much heat to it, but alas it was perfect. It was very flavorful. The recipe will easily fill 4 chicken breasts. I only used 2 and had a good portion of the cream cheese mix left over.

Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken
Ingredients:
2 slices bacon, cooked/crumbled (I used turkey bacon)
2 jalapenos, chopped (seeds removed for less kick)
6 oz cream cheese, softened
4 oz shredded cheese (I used sharp cheddar)
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 c breadcrumbs
2 T lime juice
1 T olive oil
4 chicken breasts

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450
Line a baking dish or pan with foil and spray
Combine cream cheese, shredded cheese, onion, jalapenos, and bacon
Mix olive oil and lime juice (I also added a dash of salt and pepper)
Flatten chicken
Fill chicken with 2 T of the mix, roll, and hold shut with toothpick
Dip chicken in olive oil mix
Dip in breadcrumbs
Place in dish and bake for 25-30 minutes
