Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 120 grams Cream cheese
• 60 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1.5 teaspoons Dried Italian herb blend
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian herb blend, fresh parsley, and minced garlic until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to carefully cut a pocket into each breast, being cautious not to slice all the way through.

Step 4

Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the prepared cream cheese mixture using a spoon, and secure with toothpicks if necessary.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.

Step 6

Brush the outside of each stuffed chicken breast with the seasoning blend, ensuring even coverage.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Carefully remove any toothpicks before plating.

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or garlic bread. Enjoy!
