Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a large baking sheet on the middle rack to heat up as the oven preheats.

Pound the chicken: Tear off a large sheet of parchment and set it nearby. Place one chicken breast in a zip-top bag, squeeze out the air, and seal. Use a rolling pin or meat mallet to pound the chicken to 1/2-inch thickness. Remove the chicken and place on the parchment, then repeat the process with the remaining chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper.

Make the topping: Combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise in a large bowl and use a large spoon to stir until smooth. Add the cheddar cheese, bacon, almonds, garlic powder, and half of the green onions and stir to combine. Simply Recipes / Sara Haas, RDNSimply Recipes / Sara Haas, RDN

Add the topping: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each piece of chicken. Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and set on a stable, heatproof work surface. Lift the edges of the parchment and carefully transfer the chicken to the hot baking sheet. Simply Recipes / Sara Haas, RDNSimply Recipes / Sara Haas, RDN

Bake: Bake until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, 10 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with remaining green onions and serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or a low oven. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below! Simply Recipes / Sara Haas, RDN
