Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons 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
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 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, minced garlic, and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Stir in the chicken broth.
- Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the sauce is bubbling.
- Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the top with a little extra Parmesan cheese and the chopped fresh parsley.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Serve this dish with steamed broccoli or asparagus for a complete low-carb meal.
- For a richer flavor, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of Italian seasoning to the sauce mixture.
- If the sauce thickens too much during baking, stir in a tablespoon of extra chicken broth before serving.
