A total showstopper of a meal with just a few hardworking ingredients. The bagel seasoning crust looks so pretty and unexpected, and the cream cheese juices up every ounce of the chicken.
Ingredients
4 sprays cooking spray
3 oz Neufchâtel cheese, softened
¼ cup uncooked scallions, chopped
2 tbsp grape tomatoes, finely chopped
24 oz uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast, 4 (6-oz) breasts
3 tbsp everything bagel seasoning blend
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with foil; coat the foil with cooking spray (or just coat a pan with cooking spray).
Place the cheese in a small bowl; stir in the scallions and tomatoes. Using a sharp paring knife, cut a horizontal slit through the thickest part of each chicken breast to form a pocket, cutting almost to but not through the other side. Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the chicken, stuffing into each pocket.
Spread the seasoning blend on a plate. Lightly coat the top of each chicken breast with cooking spray; dredge the top of each breast in the seasoning, pressing to adhere. Arrange the chicken on the prepared pan, seasoning side up. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 25 to 30 minutes.
