Preheat oven to 375 F. Prepare a 9 by 13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Place bacon on a baking sheet (I place on a cooling rack inserted on the baking sheet to lift it up out of the fat while it cooks) and bake on 375 for 20 minutes, while you assemble the casserole. Remove from oven and set aside, leaving the oven at 375 F.
6 slices center-cut bacon
Place cubed chicken in the bottom of the casserole dish in an even layer.
3 chicken breast
Blend together the garlic powder, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Pour over the chicken and top with diced jalapenos. Top with shredded cheese.
½ Tbsp garlic powder, 8 oz fat-free cream cheese, ½ cup fat-free half and half, 5 jalapeno peppers, 2 cups fat-free cheddar cheese
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the chicken is done (chicken should reach internal temp of 165 F).
While the casserole bakes, chop up the bacon into crumbles. Top the finished casserole with the bacon crumbles and serve.
