Baked Cream Cheese Chicken


Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (if tolerated)
1⁄2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder (if tolerated)
1⁄2 tsp salt (if tolerated)
1⁄4 tsp black pepper (if tolerated)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chicken broth (without problem ingredients)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)


Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil and set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

4. In the prepared baking dish, arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer.

5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.

6. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken breasts, avoiding pouring directly on top of the cream cheese mixture.

7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the cream cheese topping from browning too quickly.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

9. Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cream cheese topping is bubbly and golden.

10. Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes.

11. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, then serve.


NOTE:

To make the chicken more tender, you can pound the breasts to an even thickness before baking.
