This Cheesy Chicken Recipe is a family favorite, and I think your family will love it too!
Chicken is always in my freezer. I buy the chicken breasts when I find them on sale. I trim them up, freeze in individual zippy bags, and thaw in the sink when I want them. This is a versatile recipe that could be done with a variety of cheeses. I’ve cut chunks off of a block of cheese several times, and tonight I used Laughing Cow wedges. I decided to post this recipe, though, because Publix hasRondele Cheese Spread B1G1. That would be a wonderful cheese to try this with.
Cheesy Chicken Recipe:
I found this recipe on a friend’s blog. I changed it up a bit to work with my busy, quick-cooking weeknight meals. A link to the original recipe is at the bottom. Try this one. I promise you’ll love it!
Cheesy Chicken Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons cheese spread (about 1-1/2 each)
salt and pepper
extra virgin olive oil
How To Make Cheesy Chicken:
Pound chicken breasts to about 1/4″ thickness. I put mine in a gallon zippy bag to make for easy clean-up. Take out and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Spread about 1-1/2 tablespoon of cheese spread on each chicken breast. Roll up and seal with toothpicks.
Heat olive oil, about a tablespoon, in a large skillet. Sear all sides of the chicken to brown. Transfer to a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes to cook through.
Enjoy!

Chicken is the one meat our family eats at least three times a week. I don’t know about you, but for us chicken gets old fast! There have been weeks when I was just not motivated to cook at all, and I would just fry up chicken in strips, in chunks, as a whole breast and season it with nothing more than seasoning salt. Those were rough times and my family got to the point where they didn’t even want to see real live chickens! Thankfully we are past that now! With that in mind, if you ever want to share your favorite chicken recipe with us, please please please do. You never know when I’m likely to get into another chicken slump!
