Description
A delicious and creamy chicken bake that is easy to make and full of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Pour the chicken broth around the chicken breasts, avoiding pouring directly on top of the cream cheese mixture.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to prevent the cream cheese topping from browning too quickly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes covered.
- Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the cream cheese topping is bubbly and golden.
- Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, then serve immediately.
Notes
- For an extra kick, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes to the cream cheese mixture.
- This dish pairs well with a side of vegetables or rice.
