Time 1h

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup lemon juice, divided
⅛ cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1 teaspoon dried thyme, divided
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Split chicken breasts down the middle with a knife, but do not cut fully in half.
  • Mix cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, buttermilk, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon thyme together in a bowl. Divide mixture and stuff evenly into split chicken breasts. Set into a casserole dish.
  • Mix mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon thyme together in a separate bowl. Apply mayo mixture evenly to both sides of the chicken breasts.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
