In this recipe, chicken breasts are stuffed with a savory cream cheese filling, breaded with a real whole bagel, and a liberal dash of everything bagel seasoning! This cheesy breaded chicken makes for a great meal served with a tossed salad and some veggies!
Ingredients
BAGEL BREAD CRUMBS A fresh bagel is made into crumbs for the perfect coating to this cream cheese chicken recipe. I use plain bagels but you can use any flavor (cheddar is great too). If you don’t have bagels, use Panko bread crumbs instead. CHICKEN BREASTS Boneless/skinless are used in this recipe. Boneless chicken breasts can range in size from 5oz to 10oz so cooking time can vary, I use smaller 5oz breasts in this recipe. CREAM CHEESE FILLING No “everything” dish would be complete without a cream cheese filling! A bit of cheddar adds extra flavor! EVERYTHING BAGEL SEASONING This seasoning can be store bought or make your own everything seasoning here.
How to Make Cream Cheese Chicken
This one is a super cheesy chicken breast! Rather than rolling the chicken as you would in chicken cordon bleu, I prefer to butterfly the chicken like in these spinach stuffed chicken breasts.
How Long To Cook Stuffed Chicken Breast
It takes longer for cream cheese filled chicken breast to cook than it does for just boneless baked chicken breasts. Cook for 35 to 40 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve Cream Cheese Chicken with…
Everything chicken goes with… well, everything! You can’t go wrong with a side of mashed potatoes or crispy baked potato wedges. Add in some veggies like green beans with bacon, roasted broccoli or even just a fresh tossed salad.
Got Leftovers?
Leftover cream cheese chicken can be thinly sliced and topped onto a pile of greens for a healthy lunch. Or tuck some into a toasted Kaiser roll for a heartier meal.
To Freeze, store in an airtight container or zippered bag. Leftovers can be frozen up to 2 weeks!. To Reheat, simply top with a little more everything bagel seasoning, a dash of salt and pepper. If heated in the microwave, the breading wont be crisp so I like to use the toaster oven or even microwave and broil for a few minutes.
