# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and give your baking dish a light coat of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a big skillet over medium heat, melt some butter and cook the chicken breasts, seasoned beforehand, for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they’re golden.
03 -
Toss the chopped garlic and paprika into the skillet, giving it a stir for a minute until you can smell the aroma.
04 -
Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth, letting it gently bubble as you scrape any good flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet.
05 -
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken and pop everything in the oven. Cook for 20-25 minutes without covering until it’s golden and the cheese is bubbling.
06 -
Wait 5 minutes before cutting or serving the chicken. This step helps the flavors shine.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep the chicken juicy by avoiding overcooking it. Let it rest before serving for better taste.
