Ingredients

  • 14 cup cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp + 12 tsp 3 Onion Dip Mix, divided
  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 2 breasts
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 12 small red onion
  • 14 cup water or broth

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, combine cream cheese and 1 tbsp dip mix.
  2. Cut each chicken breast in half, crosswise. You should have 4 pieces.
  3. Using the tip of a knife, cut a pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast. Make sure not to cut all the way through. Using your fingers, widen each hole.
  4. Spoon 1 tbsp cream cheese mixture into each pocket. Fasten with a toothpick to secure, if needed.
  5. In a large, non-stick fry pan, heat oil over medium-high. Add chicken; reduce heat to medium. Cook until deep golden, about 5 min per side.
  6. Meanwhile, slice pepper and onion into thin strips. Add to pan; sprinkle with remaining 1⁄2 tsp dip mix and stir in water. Cover; simmer until peppers are tender, 2–4 min.
  7. Place chicken on plates and top with peppers and onion (and any juices in pan). Remove toothpicks before serving.
