Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Sear Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear each side for 5–6 minutes until golden brown.

3. Add Garlic: Add minced garlic to the skillet and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Make the Sauce: Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Simmer gently, scraping up brown bits from the skillet for extra flavor.

5. Add Cheese & Bake: Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking dish. Spoon sauce over the top, then sprinkle jack cheese generously on each breast.

6. Bake: Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp of 165°F).

7. Rest & Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides.
