Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for greasing or searing)
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet with olive oil.
  2. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each chicken piece.
  5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internally and cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.
  • Optional: Sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side before baking for extra flavor.
  • Add vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for a fuller dish.
  • Double the sauce ingredients for extra creaminess.
