Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup everything but the bagel seasoning
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1/4 cup green onions

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pressed garlic, and chopped green onions. Mix them together until well blended. You want the filling to be creamy, with the garlic and green onions evenly distributed.
  2. Next, take your chicken breasts and place them on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a slit horizontally in each breast, creating a pocket for the filling. Be cautious not to cut all the way through; you want to keep the filling inside.
  3. Stuff each chicken breast with one quarter of the filling. Press the filling in well to ensure every bite has that creamy goodness. If needed, secure the opening with a toothpick to keep the filling intact during cooking.
  4. Now it’s time to season. Roll each stuffed chicken breast in the everything bagel seasoning, coating all sides thoroughly. This adds flavor and a crunchy texture that’s simply irresistible.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400˚F (200˚C). While the oven is heating, prepare a baking sheet or a casserole dish. Arrange the stuffed chicken breasts on the sheet, spacing them out for even cooking.
  6. Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165˚F. The cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your chicken breasts. Keep an eye on them!
  7. As the chicken bakes, your kitchen will fill with an amazing aroma. You’ll know they’re done when the chicken is golden brown and the seasoning has formed a delightful crust.
  8. Once cooked, remove the stuffed chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is tender and juicy.
  9. Finally, slice the chicken and serve it warm, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy every delicious bite!
