Make this simple, creamy chicken bake for a satisfying weeknight dinner. It uses basic ingredients for a comforting, low-effort meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the chicken breasts.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the cream cheese layer.
  6. If using spinach, scatter it around the edges of the dish or lightly press it into the cream cheese layer.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit) and the topping is bubbly and lightly golden.
  8. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, mix 4 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon into the cream cheese mixture before spreading it over the chicken.
  • If you prefer a lower carb option, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates.
  • Serve this creamy chicken bake with steamed broccoli or a side salad for a balanced meal.
