Ingredients Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Creamy Green Pepper

Ingredients:

1. 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2. 2 green bell peppers, finely chopped
3. 1 cup cream cheese, softened
4. 1 clove garlic, minced
5. 1 small onion, finely chopped
6. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
7. Salt and pepper, to taste
8. 2 tbsp olive oil
9. 1/2 cup chicken broth (optional, for sauce)
10. Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the chopped green peppers, cream cheese, garlic, onion, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Prep the Chicken: Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Stuff the Chicken: Spoon the creamy green pepper mixture into each chicken breast pocket. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
5. Sear the Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts on each side until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Bake: Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
7. Optional Sauce: In the same skillet, add chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half for a simple pan sauce.
8. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. If you made the sauce, drizzle it over the chicken.
