In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and heavy cream until smooth.
-
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken, spreading evenly.

Notes
Want it spicier? Leave some jalapeño seeds in or add crushed red pepper.
To save time, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken—just reduce bake time by 10–15 minutes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
