Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Break the bagel into small pieces and place in a blender or food processor. Pulse to create crumbs (don't make them too fine).
- Combine the breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons everything seasoning and olive oil. Mix well to combine. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and cheddar cheese.
- Cut each chicken breast lengthwise (so it opens like a book) but don't cut all the way through. Fill each breast with the cream cheese mixture. Season with salt & pepper.
- Mix beaten egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour and dip into the beaten egg. Roll in the bagel crumbs and place on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with remaining everything seasoning.
- Bake on prepared pan for 35-40 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F. Rest 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking parchment paper.
- In 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; stir in bread crumbs. Cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat; transfer to pie plate or shallow dish. Stir in seasoning; set aside. In small bowl, beat egg; set aside.
- In another small bowl, mix cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of the chives, mixing well.
- Cut pocket in each chicken breast by making a horizontal slit along thin long edge, being careful to not cut through to opposite side. Stuff each pocket with about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling. Press edges of chicken together to seal, and secure with toothpick.
- Dip chicken into egg to coat both sides, then dip into bread crumb mixture, pressing to coat chicken completely. Transfer to pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Let stand 5 minutes. Garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon chopped chives before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh bagels, cream cheese, and chicken will give your dish the best flavor.
- Season your chicken well. The Everything Bagel Seasoning is a great way to add flavor to your chicken, but you can also use your own favorite seasonings.
- Don't overcook your chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but still juicy.
- Let your chicken cool slightly before stuffing it. This will help prevent the cream cheese from melting out of the chicken.
- Serve your chicken immediately. Stuffed chicken is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese-stuffed everything bagel-seasoned chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give this one a try.
