Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, optional
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Pat the chicken dry. Rub with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard until mostly smooth.
Pour the creamy mixture around and over the chicken.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top.
Bake uncovered for 25–35 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken, until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with the creamy cheese sauce spooned over the chicken.
Notes
Great with mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, roasted vegetables, rice, garlic bread, or egg noodles.
