You know that everything-but-the-bagel seasoning that’s all the rage? I’d had it in my cabinet forever and finally broke it open one night when I was trying to throw together dinner last minute.

This chicken was the result, and the kids happily ate it and I patted myself on the back for a successful dinner and moved on.

The kids didn’t, though. They kept asking for it again. And again. And then one night, Jake asked, “Mom, don’t you want to blog this one?” So, here it is. If you like this one, you can thank Jake for kicking my butt into gear.

Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 4 oz. cream cheese
• 2 eggs
• 6 Tbsp. flour
• 2 Tbsp. water
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 3 Tbsp. everything seasoning

This is a great, basic recipe because it’s really adaptable. Panko can be swapped out for other breadcrumbs. Don’t have everything seasoning? You can either make your own or swap for your favorite seasoning blend.

And once you make swaps on the outside, feel free to shakeup the inside too!

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally. Cut a pocket into each piece of chicken – opening it up as much as you can without cutting through.
3. Stuff 1 oz. of cream cheese into each pocket.
4. In a shallow bowl, beat together the eggs, flour, and water until smooth.
5. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the panko and everything seasoning to combine.
6. Dip each piece of cream cheese-stuffed chicken into the egg mixture, and then into the panko mixture to fully coat.
7. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Repeat with remaining stuffed chicken pieces.
9. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and panko is golden.
10. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

I really recommend letting these sit for a few minutes before serving to let the cream cheese set a little. If you cut into them too soon, all that goodness just runs out!

Chicken is such a staple on our family dinner table! Besides this chicken, my Pretzel Crusted Chicken is also a favorite. If we’re grilling, this is The Best Grilled Chicken. We also love these Cheddar Ranch Chicken Thighs (which can totally be made with breasts if thighs aren’t you thing)!
