Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp mayonnaise (or sour cream)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp Italian seasoning (or dried parsley + oregano)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for searing, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter.
- Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Season both sides with salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika.
(Optional) Quickly sear each side in a skillet with a little oil for 2 minutes to lock in flavor.
- Mix the Creamy Topping
In a small bowl, mix together:
Cream cheese
Mayonnaise (or sour cream)
Minced garlic
Italian seasoning
Spread this mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
- Add Cheese
Sprinkle a generous layer of cheddar and mozzarella on top of each piece.
Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
For a golden crust, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
- Serve
Let rest for a few minutes, then serve with keto sides like:
Roasted broccoli
Cauliflower mash
Zucchini noodles
