Instructions
Creating this Easy Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Breast Recipe is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to ensure delicious results:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This step is essential to ensure they sear properly.
3. Season Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Use this seasoning mix to coat both sides of the chicken breasts evenly.
4. Sear Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
5. Add Liquid: Carefully pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. This mixture will keep the chicken moist and infused with flavor.
6. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest: Once done, remove the skillet from the oven. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes to retain its juices.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a touch of color and freshness.
9. Serve: Distribute the chicken and sauce onto plates.
These easy-to-follow steps ensure that you produce incredibly flavorful chicken breasts that will impress anyone fortunate enough to join your meal.
