- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, but not all the way through, and open it like a book.

- Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each stuffed chicken breast, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
- Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
- Remove the toothpicks before serving. Enjoy your delicious jalapeno popper stuffed chicken!
