Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the heavy cream and stir well, scraping any browned bits from the pan.

Step 7

Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until creamy and smooth.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the cheese is bubbling and golden.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with a side of pasta, rice, or your favorite vegetables.
