Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add cream cheese, and stir until melted and smooth.
Gradually add heavy cream, continue to stir, allowing the mixture to combine into a creamy sauce.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated.
Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the sauce-covered chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and basil before serving.
