Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, ricotta, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Spoon the cheese mixture into each chicken breast pocket, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed. Use toothpicks to secure the openings if needed.
Step 5
Brush the outside of the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika for added flavor and color.
Step 6
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.
Step 7
Optionally, broil the chicken for the last 2–3 minutes to create a golden-brown crust on top.
Step 8
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy your cheesy, flavorful chicken!
