Cream Cheese Chicken Breasts Recipe
Cream cheese chicken breasts are a great meal option for your homecooked dinner or lunches. This dish combines tender and juicy chicken with a rich and flavourful cream cheese topping. These chicken breasts are topped with a mixture of cream cheese and herbs such as thyme, basil, and garlic powder which add extra depth to the cream cheese topping. The topping keeps the chicken moist while baking which creates a nice mild balance between the chicken and the smooth cream cheese. This is best baked in the oven for added easiness to your dinner preparation!
