ingredients for Creamy Parmesan Garlic Chicken
You will need:
- 8 ounce full fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 tablespoon roasted garlic paste
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Substitutions and additions
Garlic Paste: If you don’t have garlic paste on hand you can use minced garlic in equal portions.
Mozzarella Cheese: You can use ricotta cheese if mozzarella isn’t your thing. It’ll still be yummy and creamy.
How to Make This Creamy Parmesan Garlic Chicken Recipe
STEP ONE: In a small mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, garlic paste, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese until they are fully combined.
PRO TIP: Need garlic paste? You can make your own! Use 1 pound of peeled garlic cloves and combine with 2 tablespoons of any neutral-flavored oil. Blend in a blender and pulse until it’s smooth.
STEP TWO: Place the chicken breasts in a 9 x 13 glass casserole baking dish.
PRO TIP: Cut the chicken into fillets. This will help the overall taste, tenderness, and cook time!
STEP THREE: Sprinkle the chicken with black pepper and garlic salt or any seasonings you desire.
STEP FOUR: Pat the cream cheese mixture over the chicken breasts until they are fully coated.
STEP FIVE: Bake the chicken for 40 to 45 minutes at 375 degrees or until it’s cooked all the way through and the cheese coating is browned and bubbly.
STORAGE
IN THE FRIDGE: Store chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
IN THE FREEZER: Unfortunately, because the sauce is dairy-based it’s not going to freeze very well. We recommend eating this yummy cream sauce as soon as possible!
You’re going to love this low-carb dish as much as we do! Its creaminess will be perfectly balanced by veggie side dishes, making it keto-friendly. We’re almost positive your family will have no problems eating every last bite! But if you still have some leftover, these flavors will melt together and become delicious leftovers you’ll be scrambling to eat up tomorrow.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, at what temp.?
It’s at 375 degrees. Enjoy!
This is delicious! You can serve with rice, pasta, or veggies… lots of options!
I make something very similar to this. I generally make small slits in the chicken before putting the cheeses on top. That way some of that great flavor gets inside of the chicken. Gotta try this version very soon!!
