Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, and garlic powder. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Pour the cream sauce over the chicken breasts and return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!

Storage & Reheating

For best results, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until hot and steaming.
