Serve with your favorite veggies to make this a complete higher-satiety meal. Try sautéed spinach, air fryer broccoli, or Brussels sprouts!
Smaller chicken breasts will take 16-18 minutes to cook, and large ones 20 minutes or more.
We used Boursin cheese in this recipe, but any garlic & herb cream cheese will work. Feel free to experiment with other flavors, or try our Italian stuffed chicken breasts.
