How to Make Cream Cheese Herb Stuffed Chicken Breasts

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces cream cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (oregano, sage, or basil), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Butterfly each chicken breast: Cut horizontally almost all the way through, creating a pocket.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each chicken breast, then close the pocket.
  5. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. In another shallow dish, beat 2 large eggs with 1 tablespoon of water.
  7. In a third shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs.
  8. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  9. Place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden brown. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  11. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
