Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Whisk together the heavy cream, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Lay the chicken breasts in a baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly.
- Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken, making sure to coat each piece thoroughly.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through—look for it to be no longer pink in the center.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a touch of color and flavor.
Notes
Consider adding chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor. Marinate the chicken in the cream mixture for a few hours for added richness.
