A creamy and easy baked chicken dish topped with a rich cream cheese sauce, perfect for cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium if preferred)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with the olive oil.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Stir in Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is uniform.
  3. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pat them dry first for better seasoning adherence.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of each breast.
  5. Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the dish, avoiding pouring directly over the cheese-topped chicken.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake covered for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and return the dish to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Spoon any pan juices over the breasts, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.

Notes

Use light cream cheese to cut calories, swap mozzarella for provolone or mild cheddar, or use vegetable broth for a lighter taste.
