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 a mix of dried basil, oregano, and thyme)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

• Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

1. Cook the Chicken:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
• Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

1. Make the Creamy Cheesy Sauce:

• In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

1. Combine Ingredients:

• Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
• Stir in the heavy cream, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Stir continuously until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

1. Simmer and Finish:

• Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over them.
• Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through and allow it to absorb some of the flavors of the sauce.

1. Serve:

• Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
• Serve the creamy cheesy chicken hot, with additional sauce spooned over the top if desired.

Optional Tips:

• You can add other vegetables like spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or mushrooms to the sauce for added flavor and texture.
• Serve the chicken over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Enjoy your creamy cheesy chicken dish!
