Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 units chicken breasts boneless, skinless
Cream Cheese Sauce
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups/spoons

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Make the Sauce
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Assemble
  1. Place the prepared chicken breasts in the greased baking dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each chicken breast, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
Serve
  1. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley before serving. You can also vary the seasonings to your preference, such as adding a pinch of cayenne for a little kick.
