Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 cups diced Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 cups unsalted chicken broth
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced Roma tomatoes and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken and sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and garnish the dish with Italian seasoning and fresh basil.
Serve hot and enjoy your Low Carb Chicken Ba Da Bing paired with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
