- salt and pepper
- 3-4 chicken breasts
Directions

- In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, shredded cheese, salt and pepper, and reserved veggies. Mix until well combined.
- Butterfly each chicken breast and sprinkle the outside with salt and pepper. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the inside of the chicken breasts and use toothpicks to hold together.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In the same skillet over medium heat on the stove (add more oil if needed), sear the chicken breasts on all sides until golden.
- Bake the chicken in the oven until cooked through (internal temperature should be 165 degrees), about 15 minutes.
- Remove the toothpicks and serve.
