Creamy Garlic Mushroom Chicken Bake with Melted Parmesan Mozzarella
A rich, comforting chicken dinner baked in a creamy garlic mushroom sauce and topped with bubbly melted cheese. Perfect for a cozy family meal served with rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
6 chicken thighs or chicken breasts
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the mushrooms for about 5 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the top.
Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
