Ingredients

For the Chicken Filling:

  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Chicken Breasts:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling:
  • In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  1. Prepare the Chicken Breasts:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Season the inside and outside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Fill each chicken breast with the prepared filling, securing the opening with toothpicks if necessary.
  1. Cook the Chicken:
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the filled chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  1. Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce:
  • While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. If a thicker sauce is desired, add the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until thickened.
  1. Serve:
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
  • Drizzle the honey garlic sauce over the chicken breasts before serving.
  • Garnish with additional chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
