30-Minute Low-Carb Chicken
Description
The 30-Minute Low-Carb Chicken starts by seasoning chicken breasts with garlic parsley salt and browning them in an oven-safe skillet to develop a flavorful crust. The skillet then serves as the vessel for a quick cream sauce prepared by whisking together heavy whipping cream, shredded parmesan, and pressed garlic. Simmering the sauce melds the flavors before the chicken is returned to the pan and topped with shredded mozzarella.
Finishing in the oven gently cooks the chicken through while melting the mozzarella into a golden, creamy topping. The result is moist chicken breasts enveloped in a rich, garlicky cheese sauce with both sharp and mild cheese notes. It’s a filling dish suitable for those following a low-carb diet who want a comforting, flavorful entrée.
Serving immediately after baking preserves the sauce’s creamy texture. Using an oven-safe skillet simplifies cooking and cleanup.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 3 garlic pressed, cloves
- garlic parsley salt to taste
- neutral cooking oil for cooking, generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Prepare all the ingredients and preheat oven to 360℉.
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic parsley salt on both sides. Preheat a well oiled, oven-safe skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken on both sides. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, whisk the heavy whipping cream, shredded parmesan cheese, and pressed garlic together. Bring the mixture to a simmer, add the chicken back into the pan, and top it with shredded mozzarella.
- Place the skillet in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165℉. Serve immediately and enjoy!
