1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or dried thyme
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup heavy cream or half-and-half
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
🔪 Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season the chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. Rub them with olive oil or melted butter, then season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
3. Make the garlic cream
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt a tablespoon of butter and sauté the garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the cream and Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Assemble the bake
Pour the garlic cream mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
5. Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
