Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the Chicken:
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet.
Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes.
Create the Creamy Base:
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well.
Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then return the chicken to the skillet.
Add the Cheese:
Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the chicken.
Cover and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted.
Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, or garlic bread for the ultimate comfort meal.
Tips:
Extra Cheesy: Try adding provolone or smoked gouda for even more richness.
Low-Carb Option: Serve with roasted cauliflower or zucchini noodles.
Spicy Kick: A drizzle of sriracha or extra red pepper flakes will add some heat!
This Cheesy Garlic Butter Chicken is creamy, cheesy, and bursting with garlic goodness—comfort food at its finest!
