Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then place in a greased baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning until combined.
  3. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Broil for 2 to 3 minutes for a golden crust. Serve hot.

Notes

For the best golden top, keep a close eye during broiling—cheese can go from golden to burnt in seconds. A meat thermometer is the most reliable way to ensure juicy chicken without guessing.
