Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts ~1lb, sliced in half widthwise to create cutlets
- homemade seasoned salt and pepper see notes
- 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1 batch Everything Bagel Seasoning see below
- 3/4 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
For the Everything Bagel Seasoning:
- 1-1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 3/4 teaspoon white sesame seeds
- 3/4 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a medium-sized baking dish with nonstick spray then place chicken breasts in the bottom and season both sides with seasoned salt and pepper.
- To a small mixing bowl add softened cream cheese, chopped green onion, and Everything Bagel Seasoning ingredients then mix to combine. Spread mixture evenly over chicken breasts then cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover then sprinkle shredded cheese on top and continue baking for another 7-10 minutes or until cheese has melted and chicken is cooked through.
Notes
- If using store-bought Everything But the Bagel Seasoning, add 1 Tablespoon seasoning to the cream cheese then mix and taste. Add up to an additional 1/2 Tablespoon seasoning if desired. Note: the store bought version is a little saltier than my homemade version.
