Cheesy Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. This will be your flavorful cheese mixture.

3. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket in the middle. Be sure not to cut all the way through.

4. Stuff each chicken breast with the prepared cheese mixture, pressing down gently to secure the filling.

5. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear on each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

6. Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the greased baking dish.

7. If there is any remaining cheese mixture, sprinkle it over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.

8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

9. Remove the foil in the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the cheese to brown slightly.

10. Once cooked, remove the Cheesy Chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
