Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Toothpicks (for sealing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the cream cheese mixture and secure the edges with toothpicks.
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle paprika, salt, and pepper over them.
- Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, and serve hot.
Notes
