Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 0.25 cup green onions, sliced
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown but not fully cooked. Remove from heat and place in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
Top the cheese mixture with the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole for a crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Plate and serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
