Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra tenderness)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for richness)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (for depth of flavor)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for gooey goodness)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for extra flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of dried thyme and oregano on both sides.
    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  2. Sauté the Veggies:
    • In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables become tender and fragrant.
  3. Create the Creamy Sauce:
    • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Combine the Chicken and Sauce:
    • Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese (and Parmesan, if using) over the chicken, allowing it to melt and create a gooey, creamy layer.
  5. Simmer and Serve:
    • Reduce the heat to low and let everything simmer together for another 3-4 minutes. The cheese should be melted, and the sauce should be rich and creamy.
  6. Garnish and Enjoy:
    • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. The combination of tender chicken, creamy sauce, and melted cheese is sure to bring comfort to anyone who enjoys this dish.

Serving Suggestions

While Husband’s Happiness is delicious on its own, you can elevate the dish by serving it with:

  • Mashed potatoes or rice for a hearty base.
  • Steamed vegetables like broccoli, green beans, or asparagus for added nutrients and color.
  • A side salad for a fresh, crisp contrast to the creamy chicken.
