Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until golden brown and fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth into the skillet. Stir together until well combined. Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese and dried Italian herbs, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Cook the Chicken: Nestle seasoned chicken breasts into the sauce, ensuring they are covered. Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (75°C).
- Final Touches: For extra crispy chicken, broil for an additional three minutes before serving.
- Serve It Up: Plate your creamy garlic parmesan chicken and drizzle extra sauce over each piece. Enjoy with steamed vegetables or pasta.
