Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with the salt and black pepper, and arrange them in the prepared baking dish. Drop the softened butter by half-teaspoons over chicken. Sprinkle the minced garlic and Italian seasoning evenly over the chicken.

Bake the chicken breasts on middle rack of oven for 20 minutes.

Open the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over chicken. Continue baking until cheese is melted and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, 5-10 minutes.

Check to see that chicken is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Spoon any garlic-butter sauce in the pan over the chicken and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Butter Infusion Technique 🧈
Melt butter with minced garlic slowly to release maximum flavor, allowing the garlic to become fragrant without burning.
Cheese Melting Mastery 🧀
Grate your own cheese and add it during the last 2-3 minutes of baking to achieve the perfect golden, bubbling cheese topping.
Chicken Breast Prep Pro 🔪
Pound chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness to ensure uniform cooking and prevent dry edges.
Seasoning Layer Lock 🌶️
Pat chicken completely dry before adding seasonings to help Italian herbs and salt adhere better and create a more flavorful crust.
Moisture-Locking Technique 💦
Create a quick foil tent for the first half of baking to trap moisture, then uncover to allow cheese to brown and crisp.
