Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear on each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium, and pour the heavy cream over the chicken breasts.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
