Notes

The below nutrition is based on using 1 1/2 pound chicken and the brand ingredients we use. For exact macros with your ingredients, use cronometer to determine them.
These can be made in an oven. Cook time is 375 degrees for about 30 minutes. Placing the cream cheese mixture in the freezer is optional but it does yield the best results. It makes it so that you can wrap the chicken mixture around the cream cheese and seal it. That prevents it from melting out while cooking.
