A delicious dish combining tender chicken breasts with creamy cheese and flavorful garlic, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 tablespoons garlic butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling

  2. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, mozzarella, garlic butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Carefully slice the chicken breasts to create a pocket for the filling.
  4. Stuff each chicken breast with the cheese mixture, ensuring they are well filled.
  5. Place the stuffed chicken in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.
