Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium; add minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in heavy cream and soy sauce until well combined.
- Add grated parmesan cheese and dried Italian herbs, stirring until incorporated and heated through.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet or transfer to your baking dish. Pour any remaining sauce over the chicken and bake for approximately 20 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve hot with extra sauce drizzled on top alongside your favorite sides.
