You will love this simple, creamy garlic parmesan chicken bake. It is a flavorful, family-friendly chicken dinner baked right in the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (if using breadcrumbs)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning until combined. This makes your creamy garlic chicken sauce.
  4. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated.
  5. If you want a crispy top, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter and sprinkle this mixture over the sauce.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the sauce is bubbly.
  7. Let the cheesy garlic parmesan chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a low carb chicken bake, skip the breadcrumbs.
  • This recipe works well as one pan baked chicken for easy cleanup.
  • If you prefer thicker chicken, you may need to increase the cook time by 5 to 10 minutes.
