Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the thickest side of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, ricotta, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with an equal amount of the cheese mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the edges of the chicken breasts, if necessary.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Step 6
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
