Creamy Cheesy Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried herbs of your choice)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked pasta or rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and browned. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Add Cream and Cheeses:
- Stir in the heavy cream, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Cook and stir until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Combine and Simmer:
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve:
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve the creamy cheesy chicken over cooked pasta or rice, if desired.
Enjoy your creamy and cheesy chicken dish! Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference, and feel free to add more herbs or spices to personalize the flavors.
