Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, pressed garlic, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Mix until well blended.
- Arrange the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts flat in a large baking dish. If the breasts are thick, slice them in half to ensure even cooking.
- Apply the Cheese Mixture: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For variations, consider adding fresh herbs like basil or thyme to the cheese mixture.
- You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier alternative.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to a month.
