Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • toothpicks

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

For the Filling

  • 1 cup Blackberries fresh or thawed frozen
  • 2 pieces Jalapeños adjust based on heat preference
  • 8 ounces Cream cheese softened

For Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon Salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper freshly cracked preferred

For Garnish

  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro optional but recommended

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese with chopped blackberries and jalapeños, seasoning to taste.
  • Carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create pockets for the filling.
  • Generously fill each pocket with the blackberry-jalapeño mixture. Secure with toothpicks.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  • Preheat the oven and transfer the chicken for another 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Avoid overstuffing the chicken pockets to prevent filling from spilling out.
