Ingredients
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp garlic powder, divided
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 2 tsp Tastefully Simple® Spinach & Herb Seasoning
- 2 tbsp Tastefully Simple® Avocado Oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.
- Season both sides of each chicken breast with ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp paprika, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, parmesan, mayo, remaining ½ tsp garlic powder, and spinach & herb seasoning until smooth.
- Stuff the cheese mixture evenly into each chicken breast. Use toothpicks to secure if needed.
- Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add avocado oil, then sear chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
- Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove from oven, cover with foil, and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use a cast iron or oven-safe skillet for easy stovetop-to-oven cooking.
- Toothpicks help keep the cheese filling from spilling during cooking.
- Letting the chicken rest helps retain its juices when sliced.
