Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 onion, finely sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or a mix of rosemary, thyme, and oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or mushrooms for added depth

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ How to Make It

Step 1: Sear the Chicken

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and herbs. Sear it in a hot skillet with olive oil until golden on both sidesβ€”about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Build the Aroma

In the same pan, add butter, onions, and garlic. Let them sautΓ© until soft and fragrantβ€”this is when your house starts to smell incredible.

Step 3: Add the Creamy Base

Pour in the broth, stir in cream and Parmesan, and let it all simmer together to form a silky, flavorful sauce.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Transfer the sauce and chicken into a baking dish. Bake at 375Β°F (190Β°C) for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the top is lightly golden and bubbling.
