8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 whole jalapeño, finely diced
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Tips
Remove jalapeño seeds for milder heat or leave some in for more kick.
Searing the chicken first is great for flavor.
The recipe can be cooked in a crockpot or on a skillet.
Start checking doneness around 25 minutes due to varying chicken sizes.
If the sauce looks thin after baking, stir in the cheese and let it sit; it will thicken considerably.
Serve over baked potatoes and top with extra bacon.
