Baked Cream Cheese Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Baked Cream Cheese Chicken is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Prepare the Chicken: Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Stuff the Chicken: Take a portion of the cream cheese mixture and place it in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the chicken over to enclose the filling, and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
5. Season the Chicken: Rub the outside of the stuffed chicken breasts with olive oil, then sprinkle paprika over them for added flavor and color.
6. Bake: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest and Serve: Once baked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
