Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the cream cheese and heavy cream.
Stir continuously until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet and stir to combine.
Pour the creamy cheese and herb mixture over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired before serving.
