Description
Juicy baked chicken topped with a rich blend of cream cheese, sour cream, melty cheese, bacon, and green onions—an easy weeknight dinner that tastes like a million bucks.
Ingredients
Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
Optional: 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
Creamy Topping:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
¼–½ cup sliced green onions
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Optional sear: Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sear in olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side for extra flavor.
Mix topping: In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, Parmesan (if using), bacon, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Assemble: Place chicken in the baking dish. Spread the creamy topping evenly over each piece.
Bake: Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and topping is bubbly and golden.
Rest & garnish: Let sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra bacon or green onions.
Notes
Skip searing for a quicker version—just season and bake.
Use cheddar, Colby Jack, or cream of cheddar soup for cheese variety.
Add herbs like thyme or parsley for extra flavor.
Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a green salad.
Make it low-carb by serving over broccoli or cauliflower mash.
