….with a Green Onion Cream Cheese Dipping Sauce…yes! So, I purchased a gigantic bottle of Everything Bagel seasoning a couple of months ago and have used it liberally. Yet, whenever I look at it, it seems like a never-ending-bowl-of-pasta! I swear it’s a great purchase, since it’s pretty hard to run out of and goes a long way!
That being said, we’ve been limiting our fried foods to only when we eat out (which for me, is about never. I rarely eat out and I rarely order anything fried when so…though it’s so, so tasty!). So while keeping my family healthy(er), instead of battering and frying the chicken, why not use up that giant tumbler of yummy seasoning?! It provides a great crunch, mine is gluten-free and if you’re doing the Keto diet, this should work well too!
No matter what, it’s quick, easy and certainly yummy!
*serves 4
The Starting Lineup
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup Everything Bagel seasoning
Cream Cheese Dipping Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 Tablespoon Everything Bagel seasoning
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (1/3rd Neufchatel is fine)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup green onions, sliced + more for garnish if desired
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted, unsalted butter, Everything Bagel seasoning, softened cream cheese and milk. Fold in the sliced green onions and taste for salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.
In a baking dish, sprayed with non-stick, place down the chicken breasts. Brush one side of the chicken with half of the melted butter and then sprinkle with half of the Everything Bagel seasoning; should be pretty coated. With kitchen tongs, turn the chicken breast over and repeat with the remaining butter and seasoning.
Place the coated chicken into the oven for 30-35 minutes, until cooked through.
Remove the cooked chicken and serve alongside the cream cheese dip, enjoy!
*I prefer to drizzle the cream cheese over top, sprinkle with extra green onions and serve alongside asparagus spears or an arugula salad.
