Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Lightly pound the chicken breasts to a 1⁄2-inch even thickness and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Preheat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with the oil. Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides, then set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and dried seasonings until well incorporated.
- Remove the skillet from heat and top each chicken breast with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture; spread it to cover the entire chicken breast, then top with a slice of cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted. Garnish with green onions and serve warm.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to about 4 days.
- You may use low-fat cheese
- Swap chicken breast with boneless and skinless chicken thighs if needed
