Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil. Pat chicken breasts dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese with a bit of garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the seasoned chicken breasts in the baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar over each piece, followed by crumbled cooked bacon.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C) and cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle and juices to redistribute.
