Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray. - Season the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. - Sear the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. - Prepare the Creamy Sauce
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir and bring to a simmer. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. - Assemble and Bake
Place the seared chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish. Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top. - Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden. - Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
