Description
A delicious and easy creamy garlic chicken recipe, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
- 1 cup sour cream (room temperature)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (½ brick, room temperature)
- ¼ cup heavy cream (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish well with nonstick spray.
- Place raw chicken breasts into prepared baking dish. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the sour cream, cream cheese, heavy cream, minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper together on high speed until smooth. It’s important that the cream cheese is softened before mixing it in or it won’t blend in smoothly.
- Spread mixture evenly over raw chicken breasts.
- Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes. The chicken is done once internal temperature reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to check temperature of meat. Watch that the chicken isn’t overcooked or it will dry out. Always check the thickest chicken breast first by inserting the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast.
- Once chicken is fully cooked, remove from oven and stir the creamy sauce mixture around the chicken. The top layer of sauce will look a bit dry but once you stir it all together it all blends together well. Sprinkle fresh parsley over top.
- Serve chicken while hot, with green beans, potatoes, or your favorite sides.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Check chicken temperature to avoid drying out.
