Easy-Cheesy Hasselback Chicken
Ingredients
- 1. Boneless, skinless Chicken Breast - 2
- 2. Cream Cheese - 1/2 cup

And just like that, your Hasselback Chicken is ready. See? Told ya it was easy!
Serve with any side of your choice. Tastes even better with a little squeeze of lemon on it.
* You can stuff the chicken with any kind of cheese that you love or even with bacon. The original recipe had ricotta cheese and spinach as the stuffing.
