Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken

Cream cheese stuffed chicken is an easy, cheesy dinner that can be prepped in advance and is hands off as it bakes. This family friendly recipe is sure to be a hit!
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-7 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 oz plain cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, cut in slivers (about 20 slivers total)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, if desired, for easy clean up.
  • Butterfly the chicken breasts by cutting through them, not all the way, horizontally and opening like a book. (See this how-to post for details if needed.)
  • Season the inside of each chicken breast with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese and stir until well mixed.
  • Use a spoon to slather and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over one side of each of the butterflied chicken breasts. Place 4-5 slivers of sun dried tomatoes on top of the cheese mixture on each chicken breast.
  • Fold each chicken breast over to close it and place on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops of the stuffed chicken breasts with the paprika and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle each chicken breast with one tablespoon of Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 375 for 28-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers: Leftover stuffed chicken will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I recommend slicing it before you reheat it — which you can do either in the microwave or stovetop — so it warms through more evenly and more quickly without drying out the chicken.
