Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole chicken breasts
- 120 g cream cheese
- 60 g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 40 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 40 g crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, feta cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Stuff each chicken breast with the cheese mixture, dividing it evenly among the four breasts. Secure the opening with toothpicks if needed.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
