This recipe combines tender chicken breasts with rich and smooth Alfredo sauce enhanced with Parmesan and Mozzarella cheeses, and a touch of garlic for an extra burst of flavor.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- Sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. You don't need to cook them all the way through as they will finish cooking in the oven.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium heat.
- Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of garlic powder and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and has thickened. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Lay the seared chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Pour the Alfredo sauce over the chicken breasts, making sure each piece is well covered.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
- Finally, sprinkle the dried parsley over the mozzarella.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- You can garnish with a bit more dried parsley or fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve your delicious Parmesan Chicken Alfredo with a side of pasta, steamed vegetables, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure the chicken breasts are of uniform thickness for even cooking. You can pound them lightly if needed.
- For a smoother sauce, fresh Parmesan cheese works better than pre-grated cheese, as it melts more evenly.
- To avoid burning the garlic powder, add it gradually to the sauce and stir continuously.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it for a few additional minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley instead of dried if you want a fresher flavor and a pop of color.
- Serve the dish immediately while it’s hot and creamy for the best taste experience.
