The key ingredient in this recipe is cream cheese, which adds a creamy and tangy flavor to the chicken bites.
To make Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken Bites, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Next, take each piece of chicken and use a small knife to cut a pocket in the center. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Spoon a small amount of the cream cheese mixture into each pocket, then press the chicken closed around the filling.
In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Dip each chicken bite into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure to coat it evenly. Place the chicken bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the chicken bites for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve hot and enjoy!
