Ingredients

  • 3-4 large chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 1/2 cups whole cherry tomatoes
  • 1 8 oz container Kite Hill Cream Cheese or regular cream cheese
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • Salt/pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup chopped onions
  • 6-7 leaves fresh basil chopped
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. 
  • In a large baking dish add the chicken breast in a single line down the middle of the baking dish. Pour the tomatoes, onions, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt/pepper over the chicken. Drizzle the olive oil over the top of all of the ingredients.
  • Scoop out the cream cheese and place it in the middle of the baking dish, atop the chicken and other ingredients. 
  • Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165˚F internal temp). Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken.
  • Remove the dish from the oven after the chicken is cooked to temperature. Using tongs, shred the chicken. Once shredded, use a spoon and mix everything together. 
  • Serve hot over zoodles and if desired, garnish with fresh basil.
