For the chicken, you want to choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are free of any blemishes. This will ensure that your chicken cooks evenly and is tender and juicy. Operational acceptability is key!

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup chopped green onions

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet and stir until melted. Then, add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until combined.

Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and spoon some of the cream cheese mixture over the top of each breast. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cream cheese topping is golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy!

Storage & Reheating

To store leftovers, let the dish cool completely and then transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and then bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
