Make this creamy, cheesy garlic parmesan chicken bake for a simple, flavorful family dinner. It is an easy baked chicken recipe perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

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

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 with olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until combined. This creates your creamy garlic chicken sauce.
  4. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated.
  5. If using, sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the top of the sauce for a little crunch.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Let the cheesy garlic parmesan chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • This recipe works well with chicken thighs if you prefer a richer flavor.
  • For a low carb chicken bake, skip the optional breadcrumbs.
  • This makes great leftovers for lunch the next day.
