Everything Cream Cheese Chicken
Description
This recipe starts by preparing a flavored breading from bagel crumbs combined with olive oil and everything seasoning. Chicken breasts are sliced open like a book and filled with a mixture of garlic herb cream cheese, parmesan, cheddar cheese, and garlic powder before being seasoned. Each breast is dredged in flour, dipped in beaten egg, then coated in the bagel crumb mixture, which creates a crust during baking.
Baking at 375°F for 35-40 minutes cooks the chicken through while melting the cheese inside, creating a moist and flavorful filling. The seasoned crumb coating provides a contrast in texture with some crispness on the outside. The everything seasoning contributes a savory, aromatic flavor often associated with bagels, enhancing the overall taste profile.
This dish is suitable for a main course, served alone or alongside sides like vegetables or salad. Resting the chicken after baking helps retain juices, ensuring a tender outcome.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast 5 oz each, boneless skinless
- 6 tablespoons cream cheese spreadable, garlic and herb
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ounce Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 2 ounces cheddar cheese shredded, sharp
- 1 bagel or 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, plain
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons everything seasoning divided
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Break the bagel into small pieces and place in a blender or food processor. Pulse to create crumbs (don't make them too fine).
- Combine the breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons everything seasoning and olive oil. Mix well to combine. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and cheddar cheese.
- Cut each chicken breast lengthwise (so it opens like a book) but don't cut all the way through. Fill each breast with the cream cheese mixture. Season with salt & pepper.
- Mix beaten egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour and dip into the beaten egg. Roll in the bagel crumbs and place on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with remaining everything seasoning.
- Bake on prepared pan for 35-40 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
