Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the cream cheese and heavy cream to the same skillet. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add shredded mozzarella, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the cheese sauce over the chicken to coat evenly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve hot with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or garlic bread.
