Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, ricotta, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Spoon the cheese mixture into each chicken breast pocket, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed. Use toothpicks to secure the openings if needed.
Brush the outside of the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika for added flavor and color.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.
Optionally, broil the chicken for the last 2–3 minutes to create a golden-brown crust on top.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy your cheesy, flavorful chicken!
