Servings: 2

Equipment

  • Baking Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken thighs (5 - 6 chicken thighs)
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons Everything Bagel seasoning
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Pat the chicken thighs dry.
  • Drizzle some oil on a baking sheet. Lay the chicken thighs on the baking sheet, opened with the smooth side down. Sprinkle salt and black pepper on the rough sides of the thighs. Add 2 tablespoons of whipped cream cheese to the smaller side of each thigh and spread evenly. Add a sprinkle of Everything Bagel seasoning.
  • Close the larger side on top of the smaller side with the cream cheese mixture so the cream cheese is essentially inside the thigh, like a cream cheese-stuffed chicken thigh.
  • Drizzle olive oil on top of each chicken thigh and use a brush to spread evenly. Sprinkle a generous amount of Everything Bagel seasoning on each piece of chicken.
  • Bake the chicken thighs in the oven for about 25 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165°.
