# Ingredients You’ll Need:

01 - Half a cup of chicken stock

02 - 1 tablespoon of olive oil

03 - 4 chicken breasts, no skin or bones

04 - 8 ounces of softened cream cheese (1 package)

05 - 1 teaspoon paprika

06 - 1 clove of garlic, minced

09 - Fresh parsley to sprinkle on top

10 - Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)

01 - Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly oil your baking dish so nothing sticks.

02 - Mix the cream cheese, garlic, paprika, chives, plus a little salt and pepper in a bowl until it's smooth.

03 - Put the chicken breasts in the dish and spread the cream cheese mix over them. Pour chicken broth around and drizzle olive oil on top.

04 - Cook in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken isn't pink anymore. Add cheddar cheese during the last 5 minutes if you're using it.

05 - Take it out, let it rest for a bit, and garnish with parsley if you want. Serve while still warm.

01 - Throw in some chopped sun-dried tomatoes or spinach for extra pizzazz in the sauce.

02 - This pairs perfectly with low-carb sides like zoodles or cauliflower rice.
