Description
A cozy, creamy chicken dish perfect for fall gatherings, combining tender chicken with a rich sauce and topped with breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the chicken: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Make the sauce: In a bowl, combine the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the dish: In a baking dish, place the seared chicken breasts and pour the creamy sauce over them. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

- Serve and garnish: Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for perfect chicken. Fresh ingredients make a significant flavor difference.
