Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your skillet on the stove for searing the chicken.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in your skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese, chicken broth, minced garlic, dried basil, onion powder, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the creamy sauce over the seared chicken in the skillet, spreading it evenly.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Remove from the oven, let it sit for a couple of minutes, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Ensure the chicken is well-seared before adding the sauce to lock in juices. Use softened cream cheese for a smoother sauce. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
