Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
• 0.25 cup green onions, sliced
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown but not fully cooked. Remove from heat and place in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.

Step 6

Top the cheese mixture with the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole for a crispy topping.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Plate and serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
