Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Make the Garlic Cream Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine and Bake

    Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Parmesan Garlic Smothered Chicken!
