Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

  5. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the pocket you cut into the chicken.
  6. Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish and top each piece with 2 thin slices of butter.
