Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a meat mallet, gently pound each chicken breast to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, and parsley.
- Place a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each chicken breast and fold the sides over the filling, securing with toothpicks.
- Season the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, using a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking before serving.
Notes
This stuffed chicken pairs beautifully with garlic mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus, or a Caesar salad.
