Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and arrange them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. If needed, pound them to an even thickness.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each chicken breast, covering the tops completely.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken, then top with the cooked crumbled bacon.
  • Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For a golden top, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end if desired.
  • Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley. Serve warm with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Bring the cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Thick chicken breasts should be pounded to an even thickness for even cooking.
  • Freshly shredded mozzarella melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the chicken.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
  • This recipe is naturally low-carb and keto-friendly.
