Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a baking dish and drizzle them with olive oil. Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, making sure to coat both sides.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and bubbly, then remove from heat.
Spread the creamy cheese mixture evenly over the seasoned chicken breasts in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the grated sharp cheddar cheese over the top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Enjoy your Keto Baked Chicken with Cheese with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a delicious low-carb meal!
