02 - 1/2 cup of chicken stock
03 - 1 tablespoon of olive oil

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease up a baking dish lightly.
02 - Blend the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, paprika, chopped chives, salt, and a bit of pepper in a bowl till creamy.
03 - Lay the chicken in the dish and smother it with your creamy mixture. Add the chicken stock around the pieces and drizzle the oil on top.
04 - Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through. If using cheese, sprinkle it on about 5 minutes before pulling it out so it melts.
