Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken dry, place it in a greased 9x13 baking dish, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth and combined.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the chicken breasts. Bake for 20 minutes.
  4. Remove the dish, sprinkle the mozzarella over the chicken, and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
  5. Transfer the chicken to plates, spoon pan juices over the top, and serve right away.

Notes

The cream cheese mixture can be made a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge. Let it soften at room temperature for 30 minutes before spreading so it goes on smoothly.
