Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Flavorings and Seasonings:
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dairy:
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Get your oven heating to 400°F (200°C) and give a baking dish a light spray of cooking oil.
- Pat your 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry, then sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Whisk together 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a bowl until the mixture turns smooth.
- Lay your seasoned chicken breasts flat in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the cream sauce evenly over each piece of chicken, making sure everything gets coated.
- Slide the dish into your preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.
- Take the dish out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before plating.
- Spoon the remaining sauce from the bottom of the dish over your chicken as you serve it.
Notes
- Pound your chicken breasts to an even thickness before baking so they cook uniformly and stay moist throughout.
- The soy sauce and cream combination creates a rich sauce, so resist the urge to add more liquid or the flavors become diluted.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer at 25 minutes since oven temperatures vary, and undercooked chicken isn’t safe to eat.
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream for the heavy cream without changing the baking time or temperature.
