salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
8 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a skillet, fry bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels, and chop the bacon.

Set that skillet aside and save the bacon grease for making the sauce.

In a bowl, combine cornmeal, chili powder, cumin, and salt.

In another bowl, beat an egg.Dip each chicken breast in the beaten egg, then coat with the cornmeal mixture.

Add vegetable oil to a large skillet and fry the chicken breasts until crispy and the juices run clear.

In the skillet with the bacon grease, add the jalapenos and salt and pepper to taste, and cook until softened.

Add garlic and cook and stir for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Stir in chicken broth and deglaze the pan and bring to a boil. Add the cream cheese and cook and stir until melted and smooth.

Stir in cheddar cheese and chopped bacon and stir until the cheese melts. Top the chicken with the sauce. Serve and enjoy.
