In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 4 oz of cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup of diced pimentos, and a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow it to warm up, ensuring that your chicken gets a nice sear.
Season the boneless skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F.
Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Spread a generous amount of the prepared pimento cheese over each chicken breast. Cover the skillet and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt beautifully.
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. This Pimento Cheese Chicken Recipe is now ready to be enjoyed!
