Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place cooked chicken cubes in a food processor. Pulse until chicken resembles crumbs. Add shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese and jalapeno cream cheese. Pulse 2 or 3 times until mixed. If mixture appears dry, add more cream cheese, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 5
Bake in preheated oven until the edges turn brown, 8 or 9 minutes.
