Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  5. If using, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter and sprinkle over the top of the chicken.
