Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the thickest side of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, ricotta, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with an equal amount of the cheese mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the edges of the chicken breasts, if necessary.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
