Keto Garlic Chive Cream Cheese Chicken Thighs
These chicken thighs are so fragrant and make for a delicious meal prep lunch! When you cut into each thigh, you’ll get a burst of a creamy center holding fresh garlic and chives. A generous layer of parmesan on top gives each chicken thigh a slightly crispy coating to give you complementary textures to enjoy.

3 ounce
Garlic
1 teaspoon

Recipe Steps
steps 5
59 min
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees and lightly spray and 9X13 glass baking dish. In a microwave safe bowl, heat the cream cheese for 15-20 seconds, until it’s warm and pliable. Stir in the garlic and chopped chives. Set this mixture aside to set slightly.Step 2
Prepare 4 chicken thighs by unraveling them and laying them open on a flat surface. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper each over each chicken thigh.Step 3
Use a fork or spoon to smear a portion of cream cheese mixture over each chicken thigh, as pictured.Step 4
Gently bring the far ends of each chicken thigh together in the center, and flip each chicken thigh over so they rest on the seam you just created. Brush a ¼ teaspoon of olive oil over the bare tops of each chicken thigh. Then, roll the chicken thighs in shredded parmesan, so each thigh is covered in about 2 teaspoons of parmesan. You can lightly press the parmesan into the chicken if any does not stick. Place each chicken thigh in your prepared pan, with the closed seam on the bottom.Step 5
Bake the dish for 40-45 minutes - enough time for the parmesan to melt and give a golden brown top to the chicken. Enjoy!

This recipe was good ! I didn’t have chives so I added Italian seasoning instead. I found the cheese was almost melted off when I took it out of the oven so next time I might try putting the Parmesan on top of the chicken about 10 min before it’s ready and maybe that will help. I also did not cook my chicken as long as it states because my oven gets hot. I only cooked mine for 35 min and the chicken came out juicy and the flavors were great!

Delicious! The whole family loved it. Glad I doubled it. I added bacon to a few pieces and covered with provolone for a variation on half. The original was delish without the modifications.

These are definitely worth the time. Easy to adjust for more chicken thighs if you want leftovers. I’ve wrapped several in bacon and it turns out amazing! I try to cook the bacon in the oven for a short bit so it has a head start. So good

Easy to make and very good. I added fresh spinach to the cream cheese mix before spreading (I love spinach) and cooking. I plan on making this again due to its ease and being easy to reheat!
