Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts

Cheese Filling:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 ounces (about 1/3 cup) shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder or granulate
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ lemon zested and juiced, separately
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Butterfly the chicken breasts by cutting them lengthwise 3/4 of the way through. Be sure to keep the knife level while slicing through, not cutting completely through to the other side.
  2. In a small bowl, prepare the cheese filling: Mix cream cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic, onion, salt, thyme, and lemon juice.
  3. Stuff the chicken breasts: Fill each butterflied breast with half of the cheese mixture, leaving a 1/2″ margin. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  4. Prepare the baking sheet: Line it with parchment paper or cooking oil and place the stuffed chicken breasts on it.
  5. Brush with butter: Mix melted butter and lemon zest, then brush the tops of the chicken breasts with this mixture.
  6. Bake: Bake at 425ºF for 30 minutes. Check the internal temperature after 20 minutes, baste, and continue baking until the center reaches 165ºF.
  7. Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice each breast crosswise for serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overfill the chicken breasts to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
