Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken
Recipe Name: Cheesy Garlic Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a fork to poke holes all over each piece. This will help the garlic and oil mixture to penetrate the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
4. Brush the garlic and oil mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly browned.
6. Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish or a lined baking sheet.
7. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
11. Serve the Cheesy Garlic Chicken with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Enjoy your delicious Cheesy Garlic Chicken!
