Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place the seasoned chicken in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning until smooth. Stir in the chicken broth until combined.
- Pour the cream sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle a little extra Parmesan cheese over the top of the sauce.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- To keep the chicken moist, make sure the sauce covers the chicken well before baking.
- If the sauce seems too thick before baking, add a tablespoon more chicken broth.
- You can add 1/2 cup of steamed broccoli florets to the dish before baking for added vegetables.
