Here at my house, it has been a bit of a chicken week, but that’s nothing new. Chicken breast is my go-to dinner option when I have nothing else in my sleeve, and one of my new favorites is this Cream Cheese, Garlic, and Chive Stuffed Chicken.
As a chicken lover, I cannot count how many recipes I’ve tried using cream cheese in some way. Chicken and cream cheese is a very common combination, but cream cheese is only there for creamy texture in most cases. Some other mix of herbs and spices always seems to manage the taste, totally overshadowing the cream cheese tart. But that’s not the case for this recipe. In this Cream Cheese, Garlic, and Chive Stuffed Chicken, the cream cheese flavor is front and center, with the bacon, chives, and butter just enhancing it. Try this recipe for Cream Cheese, Garlic, and Chive Stuffed Chicken, and don’t forget to enjoy it with your family and friends.
Ingredients:
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

Directions:

In a bowl, add and mix cream cheese, chives, and garlic, then divide the mixture into (4) balls.

In the preheated oven, bake it until the bacon is crisp and the chicken is no longer pink, and juices run clear for 30 minutes.
