Bake tender chicken breasts smothered in a rich, low-carb cream sauce flavored with fresh garlic and herbs. This is a simple, satisfying keto dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry. Rub them with olive oil, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Place the seasoned chicken in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy whipping cream and cubed cream cheese. Whisk constantly until the cream cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Do not let it boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and dried thyme until well combined. Taste the sauce and add more salt or pepper if needed.
  5. Pour the creamy garlic herb sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the sauce is bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra richness, you can add 1/4 cup of sour cream to the sauce mixture after removing it from the heat.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can bake the chicken uncovered for the last 5 minutes.
  • Use fresh herbs if available for the best flavor profile.
