Instructions
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
-
Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Sauté Garlic and Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sliced mushrooms and sauté until tender and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Assemble the Dish: Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish. Pour heavy cream over the chicken, then top each with sautéed mushrooms. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden.

Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Vegetable Add-ins: Add spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or roasted red peppers to the sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor.
Substitutes: For a lighter version, use low-fat cream or half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
Different Cheeses: Swap mozzarella and Parmesan for cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère for a different taste.
