Ingredients

Everything Bagel Chicken

Scallion Cream Cheese Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon Everything But the Bagel seasoning
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened, see Note)
  • 6 tablespoons chopped green onions (1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons)
  • ¼ cup half-and-half or milk (see Note)

Garnishes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400º F. Place chicken breasts top-down in a baking dish. 9x9" or larger. Using a pastry brush, brush surface of chicken with butter then sprinkle with salt. Don't use as much salt as you normally would, since most Everything But the Bagel seasonings have salt in them.
  • Sprinkle surface of chicken with half the Everything But the Bagel seasoning. Use tongs and carefully flip chicken breasts. Brush tops with the remaining butter, sprinkle with the salt and coat with the remaining Everything but the Bagel seasoning.
  • Bake at 400º F for 25-35 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160º F. See Note.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium bowl. Whisk in remaining sauce ingredients until very smooth. Taste and add salt to taste.
  • When chicken is baked, remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes. Serve with plenty of scallion cream cheese sauce.

Recipe Notes

  • Make it Paleo: use ghee instead of butter, non-dairy cream cheese like Kite Hill, and your favorite plain, unsweetened non-dairy milk like macadamia or almond milk.
  • Make it Dairy Free: Use vegan butter or a neutral oil, dairy free cream cheese, and unsweetened, plain, non-dairy milk of choice.
  • Cooking Times: Note that cook time will vary by size of chicken breast.
    - Small chicken breasts: approximately 25 minutes
    - Medium chicken breasts: approximately 30 minutes
    - Large chicken breasts: approximately 35 minutes
