CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CREAM CHEESE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Mix cream cheese and chili powder.
• Carefully separate skin from meat of each chicken breast. Use a knife if you need to, then your fingers, to create a pocket between the skin and meat. Try not to tear the skin.
• Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the pocket you've created. Apply a little pressure with your fingers on the outside of the skin to spread the cream cheese in an even layer.
• Brush each chicken breast with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 45-60 min., or until chicken is cooked through. If the chicken is getting too browned on top, cover it with foil as it continues to cook.
