Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
Cheese Mixture
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Sear the chicken in the skillet for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Baking
  1. Pour the cheese mixture over the seared chicken in the skillet.
  2. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Serve hot and enjoy your indulgent meal!

Notes

Pound the chicken to even thickness for even cooking. Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth mix. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If the sauce is too thin after baking, simmer on the stove for a few minutes to thicken.
