Chicken and Philadelphia cheese are a match made in heaven. There are many ways to cook chicken with Philadelphia cream cheese, from sandwiches to pasta to chicken stuffed with cream cheese. Chicken Philly sandwiches are a popular choice, made with chicken, bell peppers, onions, and cheese stuffed inside a hoagie roll. You can also make a creamy Philadelphia chicken pasta by combining chicken, cream cheese, lemon juice, and spaghetti. For a more indulgent option, try Philadelphia stuffed chicken, where you bake chicken breasts stuffed with cream cheese, cherry tomatoes, and spinach, topped with crispy homemade breadcrumbs.

Chicken with Philadelphia Cream Cheese Pasta
This recipe is a delicious and easy way to make a creamy chicken pasta dish. It is a versatile dish that can be served with new potatoes and peas or a salad. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
Ingredients
- 140 g Philadelphia original cream cheese
- Chicken breasts
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Onion
- Garlic
- Lemon
- Tarragon
- Chicken stock
- Cornflour
- Spaghetti
- Courgetti
- Fresh basil
Method
Add half of the oil into a wide/deep pan and heat it over high heat. Season both sides of the sliced chicken breast with salt and pepper. Put the chicken in the pan and fry each side for 3 minutes (longer if the pieces are thicker). Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside. Add a splash of water to the pan to deglaze, then add the remaining oil and the chopped onion. Fry the onion for around 5 minutes, then add the garlic, zest of half a lemon, and tarragon. Fry for a further couple of minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the pan. Slowly pour in the chicken stock while continuously stirring until combined. Stir the cornflour slurry into the pan and add a squeeze of lemon. Put the seared chicken breast back into the pan and increase the heat to medium/low. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Add the lemon juice during the final minute of cook time. Boil heavily salted pasta water and add the spaghetti to cook according to package instructions. Add the courgetti to the pot for the final minute of cook time. Serve the creamy Philadelphia chicken with the spaghetti and courgetti. Top with fresh basil and black pepper.

Chicken stuffed with Philadelphia Cream Cheese
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 8 oz Philadelphia cream cheese
- 1-2 cloves of garlic
- Fresh dill
- Fresh chives
- Fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper
- Smoked streaky bacon
- Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic, dill, chives, and parsley, and mash together until mixed. You can adjust the amount of herbs and garlic to your taste. Butterfly the chicken breasts, creating a uniform thickness when opened out. Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the four breasts and spread it across the surface of one side, leaving the other half empty to fold over the filling. Fold the empty half over the filling to make a stuffed breast. Sprinkle each stuffed breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, add oil and heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the stuffed chicken breasts to the pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the bottoms are seared golden. Flip the breasts and cook for another minute on the other side. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through and the juices run clear. For an extra crispy bacon topping, you can cook the bacon a little before wrapping the chicken.
Tips
- You can fry the chicken before stuffing it, frying each side for two minutes, then removing it from the stove, slicing, stuffing, and baking.
- Top each piece of chicken with a slice of bacon to add flavor and keep the chicken from drying out.
- If you don't have access to fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. Swap 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs for 1 teaspoon of dried herbs.
