Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 4 tbsp cream cheese
- 2 tbsp chives + more for garnish, chopped
- 2 cup sliced veggie of choice I used tomato + spinach
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tsp Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Spray baking sheet or dish lightly with olive oil.
- Cut each chicken breast lengthwise, creating a “pocket” to stuff with other ingredients. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Open each “pocket” and evenly spread cream cheese in each chicken breast.
- Top cream cheese with chives and sliced veggies of choice (I used sliced tomatoes + spinach).
- Fold the top half of the chicken breast over the cream cheese and veggies. If they are too full to lay flat on their own you can close the “pocket” of chicken with 2-3 toothpicks.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a single layer on baking sheet or dish. Brush with olive oil.
- Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top of each piece of chicken and pat lightly with hands to secure to chicken.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until your chicken is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
- Garnish with additional chives and serve immediately.

The Ingredients
Chicken Breasts
- I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts in this recipe. Each breast can drastically vary in size, which can impact cooking time. I used smaller breasts in this recipe.
Cream Cheese
- No “everything” dish would be complete without a cream cheese filling! For a dairy free alternative, check out this Kite Hill Dairy Free Plain Cream Cheese.
Chives
- You can’t resist the perfect combination of cream cheese + chives. This herb not only makes for a beautiful garnish, but also helps to add so much additional flavor to this meal.
Sliced Veggies
- I love the combo of tomatoes and spinach with Everything Bagel seasoning, but the options here are endless. Asparagus, mushrooms, broccoli, are just a few others that would compliment this dish well!
Olive Oil
- This helps the seasoning stick to the chicken. You can also use avocado oil as an alternative.
Everything Bagel Seasoning
- This seasoning can be store bought or made at home. I purchased mine at Whole Foods, but Thrive Market, Trader Joes, and Amazon are three other places you can find this wonderful seasoning.
Step One
- Cut each chicken breast lengthwise and create a “pocket” to stuff.
Step Two
- “Stuff” with cream cheese, chives, and sliced veggies of choice (I used sliced tomatoes + spinach).
Step Three
- Brush chicken with olive oil and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top.
Step Four
- Bake for 30 minutes. Garnish with chives and serve immediately.
