Main Ingredients

4 pieces chicken breasts Opt for boneless, skinless for quicker cooking.
8 oz cream cheese, softened Full-fat yields a richer, creamier sauce.
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) Feel free to mix different types for unique flavor.
1 cup chicken broth Use good quality for the best flavor.
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
to taste Salt and pepper
for garnish Fresh parsley Optional for color and flavor.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and creamy.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish, pouring the chicken broth around the edges for moisture.
Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well covered.

Cooking

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is golden and bubbly.
Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for an added touch of color and flavor.

To enhance flavor, consider searing the chicken breasts before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
