How to Make This Family Favorite Recipe

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side or until it’s cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Onion and Garlic

  1. In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and sauté the chopped onion for about 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

Step 3: Create the Sauce

  1. Pour in the diced tomatoes and stir.
  2. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the sauce thicken slightly.

Step 4: Add the Chicken Back In

  1. Slice the cooked chicken into strips or chunks and add it back into the skillet.
  2. Stir the chicken into the sauce and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 5: Add the Cheese

  1. Stir in the shredded cheese until it melts into the sauce. If you’re using pasta, you can add the cooked pasta now and toss it to coat with the sauce.

Step 6: Serve & Garnish

  1. Serve the dish hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. You can serve it with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a more filling meal.

Why This Recipe is a Weekly Request

This recipe strikes the perfect balance of comfort and flavor that makes it a go-to meal. The combination of tender chicken, creamy sauce, and melted cheese creates a dish that’s rich, satisfying, and delicious—exactly the kind of meal that earns its place in a weekly rotation.

The best part? It’s versatile. You can easily adjust the recipe to suit your family’s tastes—add more veggies, swap in a different protein, or make it gluten-free by skipping the pasta. The possibilities are endless, but the result is always the same: a meal everyone loves.


Tips for the Best Results

Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs – They’re juicier and more flavorful than chicken breasts, making them a great option for this dish.
Add vegetables – Toss in some spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to make it even more hearty and nutritious.
Make it spicy – Add some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a bit of heat.
Save time with rotisserie chicken – If you’re in a rush, shredded rotisserie chicken works perfectly in this recipe.
