Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Others
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken dish.
- Sauté garlic: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
- Cook mushrooms and tomatoes: Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, approximately 5 minutes.
- Brown the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet and brown on both sides to seal in juices, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step adds flavor and texture.
- Add liquids and cheese: Pour the chicken broth and heavy cream into the skillet, then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top to enrich the sauce.
- Bake the chicken: Transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve and garnish: Remove the skillet from the oven and serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired for an extra savory touch.
Notes
- Use a skillet that is oven-safe to avoid transferring the chicken and sauce to another baking dish.
- For best results, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking to retain its juices.
- Sun-dried tomatoes can be substituted with roasted red peppers for a milder flavor.
- If a thicker sauce is preferred, simmer the sauce on the stovetop for a few minutes after baking to reduce.
