Ingredients
  

  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the filling:
    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
  • Butterfly the chicken:
    Carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally, creating a pocket. Be sure not to cut all the way through.
  • Stuff the chicken:
    Spoon the cheese mixture into the pockets of the chicken breasts, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
  • Sear the chicken:
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  • Bake the chicken:
    Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
  • Rest and serve:
    Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
  • Toothpicks help keep the filling secure while cooking.
