Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté minced garlic for about one minute until fragrant.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about five minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring in Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer for five minutes until slightly thickened.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven, let rest for five minutes, then serve with additional sauce drizzled on top.
