Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese softened
  • ½ tablespoon roasted garlic paste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¾ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Grater
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that your chicken will cook evenly and get that beautiful golden brown color.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, roasted garlic paste, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese. Mix until everything is fully combined. The mixture should be creamy and smooth, with no lumps. The aroma of the garlic will be delightful.
  3. Take your chicken breasts and place them in a 9 by 13 glass or casserole baking dish. Make sure they are spread out evenly; you want them to bake uniformly.
  4. Sprinkle the black pepper and garlic salt over the chicken. You can also add any other seasonings you enjoy at this stage. Use your hands to rub the seasonings into the chicken for maximum flavor.
  5. Next, pat the creamy cheese mixture over the chicken breasts. Ensure each piece is fully coated. The mixture should cling to the chicken, creating a delicious crust as it bakes.
  6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is cooked through and the cheese coating is browned and bubbly. The kitchen will smell heavenly during this time!
  7. Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the chicken, making it even more flavorful.
  8. Serve hot, and enjoy the creamy goodness of Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken with your favorite sides. Maybe some steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the richness.
