A delightful twist on the classic pesto-mozzarella chicken, this recipe incorporates a medley of fresh herbs and a touch of creaminess for a dish that's both comforting and flavorful.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the chicken.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pesto sauce, heavy cream, and minced garlic.
Mixing the cream with the pesto creates a richer sauce that coats the chicken beautifully.
Spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture on the bottom of a baking dish.
This prevents the chicken from sticking and adds flavor to the base.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the sauce in the baking dish.
Arrange the chicken evenly to ensure even cooking.
Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Coating the chicken thoroughly ensures it stays moist and flavorful.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during baking.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Baking uncovered allows the cheese to melt and develop a golden crust.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Adding fresh herbs enhances the presentation and adds a burst of flavor.
