Instructions
Step-by-step Guide
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and sear them for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and add the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir until well combined and the cheese melts.
- Combine and Bake: Nestle the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, ensuring they are covered in the creamy sauce. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
