Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 16 oz Cremini Mushrooms, sliced
- 5 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 4 oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Chicken Bone Broth
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Sear Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and onion powder; sear for 5-7 minutes until browned. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish.
- Sauté Mushrooms: Melt butter in the same skillet. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 6-8 minutes until moisture evaporates and edges are golden brown.
- Add Aromatics: Add minced garlic and dried thyme to the skillet; cook for 60 seconds until fragrant.
- Make Sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Pour in chicken bone broth and add cream cheese. Whisk constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Thicken Sauce: Stir in heavy whipping cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine: Pour the mushroom cream sauce over the chicken in the baking dish and toss gently to ensure even coating.
- Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the grated parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the mixture.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is golden and the sauce is bubbling.
- Rest: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
