Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix (halal-friendly)
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled halal-friendly chicken bacon bits or beef bacon
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and make shallow cuts on each breast.
Mixing
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing mix, and crumbled chicken bacon. Mix until well combined.
Stuffing and Baking
  1. Carefully stuff each chicken breast with the cheesy mixture and use toothpicks to secure.
  2. Place stuffed chicken breasts in a greased baking dish and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and cheese is bubbling.
Serving
  1. Let baked chicken rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

For a healthier option, substitute with low-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to a month. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
