Make this creamy, cheesy garlic parmesan chicken bake for a simple, flavorful weeknight meal that your family will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (if using breadcrumbs)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chicken broth until combined. This creates your creamy garlic chicken sauce.
  4. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
  5. If using, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter and sprinkle over the top of the sauce for a cheesy garlic parmesan chicken crust.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Let the oven baked chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a low carb chicken bake, skip the breadcrumbs.
  • This recipe works well as a one pan baked chicken meal; serve with steamed vegetables.
  • Leftovers reheat well for easy lunches.
