Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Combine cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, jalapenos, garlic powder, and barbecue seasoning in a bowl. Mix well until evenly combined.
- Cut a deep pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Fill the pocket of each chicken breast with cream cheese mixture. Wrap each chicken breast with 3 slices of bacon.
- Place a baking rack on top of a baking sheet and place stuffed chicken on top of the rack.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.40

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs that are evenly sized so they cook evenly.
- Make sure the jalapenos are seeded and deveined: This will help to reduce the heat level of the poppers.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken thighs: This will help to prevent them from tearing.
- Stuff the chicken thighs with the cheese and jalapeno mixture: Be careful not to overstuff them, or the filling will leak out during cooking.
- Wrap the chicken thighs in bacon: This will help to keep the filling inside and add flavor to the chicken.
- Cook the chicken thighs over indirect heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out.
- Baste the chicken thighs with barbecue sauce: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Cook the chicken thighs until they are cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken thighs rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
