Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp dried Italian herbs (basil and oregano)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: 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.
- Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and dried Italian herbs, mixing until well combined.
- Combine and Cook: Add the seasoned chicken breasts into the skillet with the sauce. Let them simmer for about five minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Bake It: Transfer everything from the skillet into your preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
- Serve with Style: Plate the juicy chicken breasts and drizzle extra sauce over them. Pair with pasta or crusty bread for a complete meal.
