Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken
Description
Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken combines boneless chicken breasts with a creamy spread made from cream cheese, sour cream, crushed garlic, and Parmesan cheese. It is topped with a mix of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, which melts and creates a golden layer on the chicken during baking. The oven temperature and cooking time ensure the chicken cooks through and the cheese topping browns nicely.
The dish has a rich, mellow garlic flavor complemented by the cheeses' savory notes. The creamy topping provides a moist texture that keeps the chicken tender. Baking allows the cheese topping to adhere firmly to the chicken, creating a satisfying crust.
This chicken pairs well with simple sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a light salad. The creamy texture and cheesy topping make it a filling main course with approachable ingredients.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 4 - 4-6 oz chicken breast boneless
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese grated
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 8 oz cream cheese softened, package
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 Tablespoon garlic crushed, about 3 large cloves
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
- In a small bowl, stir together the mozzarella cheese and half of the grated parmesan cheese, set the bowl aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, and seasonings. Once it is well combined, stir in the remaining half of the parmesan cheese.
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish so that each piece is flat, and not overlapping with the others. Cover each piece of chicken a large scoop of the cream cheese and sour cream mixture. Pat it down with a spoon until it completely covers the top of the piece of chicken.
- Top each piece of chicken with the combined grated cheeses, lightly pressing the cheese into the cream mixture. This will help keep it in place as it begins to melt.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken breasts. Serve while hot.
