Cream Cheese Baked Chicken
Ingredients:
Ingredient Quantity
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts 4
Cream cheese, softened 1 (8 oz) package
Sour cream 1/2 cup
Garlic, minced 4 cloves
Oregano 1 teaspoon
Salt 1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper 1/2 teaspoon
Grated Parmesan, divided 1 cup
Shredded mozzarella cheese 1 cup
Instructions:
Preheat Oven & Prep Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, then set aside.
Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and ½ cup of the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined and smooth.
Top Chicken: Spoon the cream cheese mixture generously onto each chicken breast in the baking dish. Spread the mixture to cover the top of each chicken breast.
Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and the remaining ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the cream cheese-coated chicken breasts.
Bake: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the cheese topping is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot.
Enjoy!
