Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (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 cut a pocket into each chicken breast, ensuring not to slice all the way through.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture, and secure the openings with toothpicks to prevent leakage during cooking.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish if you're not using an oven-safe skillet) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the Alfredo sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in any remaining mozzarella or Parmesan cheese mixture if desired.
Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle the Alfredo sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot alongside your choice of pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
