Make this creamy, cheesy garlic parmesan chicken bake for a flavorful family dinner. It is simple to prepare and perfect for weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 0.25 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, heavy cream, and chicken broth.
  4. Pour the cream mixture over the chicken breasts.
  5. Sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese over the chicken and sauce mixture.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and the breadcrumbs, if using, over the top.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit) and the topping is golden brown.
  9. Let the cheesy garlic parmesan chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a low carb chicken bake, skip the breadcrumbs entirely.
  • If you prefer thicker chicken, pound the breasts to an even thickness before baking.
  • This recipe makes great leftovers for lunch the next day.
