Juicy chicken breasts filled with a creamy, cheesy mixture and baked to golden perfection, inspired by a classic steakhouse favorite.
4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6–8 oz / 170–225 g each)
200 g (7 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast.
Mix cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Stuff each chicken breast evenly with the cheese mixture.
Brush chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika.
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
