Equipment

  • Large nonstick pan
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoon Poppy seeds
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Sesame Seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Dried garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Dried onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
  • 2 Large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 oz Cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoon Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix together the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and sea salt. Set aside.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket in each of the chicken breasts. I like to carefully cut almost all the way though - at about halfway through the thickness - to form a cavity.
  • Cut the cream cheese in half. Use your fingers to gently flatten and form each piece to be a bit closer to the size of the cavity you just cut. Put one piece of cream cheese in each of the chicken breasts, transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Use a pastry brush to brush one side of each chicken breast with mayonnaise, then divide about half of the seasoning mixture over the two chicken breasts.
  • Press the seasoning down a bit, then gently flip each breast and repeat.
  • Heat oil in a nonstick pan, over medium high heat. Once hot, carefully transfer the prepared chicken breasts to the pan.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until the coating is seared on and golden brown. Transfer back to the prepared baking sheet, and into the oven.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 165F, when measured at the thickest part with an instant read meat thermometer.
  • Serve hot!
