A delicious and easy-to-make chicken dish with a creamy garlic sauce and melted cheese.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the chicken breasts in a 9x13 baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning for consistent flavor.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Check the chicken for doneness using a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken bakes, heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese, cooking until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens.
Stir continuously to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Pour the prepared sauce over the baked chicken in the dish.
Spread the sauce evenly to cover all the chicken pieces.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauced chicken.
Use a generous amount of cheese for a gooey topping.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden top, broil for the last 2 minutes.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of your choice for a complete meal.
