Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. This will be your flavorful cheese mixture.
-
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket in the middle. Be sure not to cut all the way through.
-
Stuff each chicken breast with the prepared cheese mixture, pressing down gently to secure the filling.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear on each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
-
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the greased baking dish.
-
If there is any remaining cheese mixture, sprinkle it over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
-
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Remove the foil in the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the cheese to brown slightly.
-
Once cooked, remove the Cheesy Chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
