Description

Bake boneless chicken in a creamy garlic parmesan sauce for a flavorful, simple family dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until combined.
  4. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
  5. If using, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of the sauce.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and lightly browned.
