Serves 4
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1½ tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning (plus more for topping)
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
Optional: ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack
Instructions
1. Preheat: Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment.
2. Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix cream cheese and 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning until fully combined. If using shredded cheese, fold it in.
3. Prepare the chicken: Using a sharp knife, cut a deep pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through. Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
4. Stuff: Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly and spoon into each pocket. Press gently to close.
5. Season & bake: Brush the tops lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle remaining Everything Bagel Seasoning generously over the top of each breast. Bake 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
6. Optional golden finish: For extra color, broil the chicken for 2–3 minutes at the end.
