Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Cut a deep pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the cream cheese mixture, securing with toothpicks if needed.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
For added flavor, you can mix in herbs like chives or parsley into the cheese stuffing. Be sure to secure the stuffing well so it doesn't leak out during cooking. Pair this stuffed chicken with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
