# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup chicken broth with reduced sodium
02 -
2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
03 -
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
04 -
1 cup of freshly shredded Monterey Jack cheese
05 -
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
06 -
1 teaspoon of paprika
07 -
A pinch of salt and black pepper
08 -
1 cup of heavy cream
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a baking dish with a nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
Warm the butter in a big skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts on both sides until they turn a nice golden color, about 5-6 minutes for each.
03 -
Toss garlic and paprika into the skillet, stirring for just a minute until you start smelling the aroma.
04 -
Add the heavy cream and broth to the pan, gently simmering and scraping up any brown bits stuck to the bottom.
05 -
Put a generous layer of shredded cheese over the chicken, then place it in the oven uncovered for 20-25 minutes until it's golden and bubbly.
06 -
Give the dish a 5-minute break before you serve it to let the flavors settle in.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Waiting for a few moments after baking helps the flavors pop and keeps the juices evenly spread.
