3. Assemble & Bake:

• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

4. Serve & Enjoy:

Chef’s Tips:

• For extra richness, deglaze the pan with 2 tbsp white wine before adding the broth.

• Don’t overcook the chicken—searing locks in juices, and baking finishes it gently.

• Make it low-carb by serving with cauliflower mash or zucchini noodles.

Creamy, cheesy, and packed with garlicky goodness—this dish is pure comfort in every bite!
