Indulge in these cheesy, savory chicken thighs that bring comfort and joy to your dinner table tonight!

1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). This ensures a nice, even cooking temperature for your chicken thighs.

2

While the oven is preheating, take a large mixing bowl and combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, minced garlic (2 cloves), salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed and creamy.

3

Now, take your chicken thighs and carefully make a pocket in each thigh by slicing halfway through. Be sure not to cut all the way through.

4

Stuff each chicken thigh with the cheesy mixture. Press the edges to seal the fillings inside.

5

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken thighs and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

7

Remove from the oven, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for freshness, and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
