Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Season the Chicken:
Place chicken breasts in the dish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

3. Mix the Sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth and well blended.

4. Bake:
Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken. Spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165°F (75°C) and the sauce is bubbly.

5. Serve:
Serve hot over cooked white rice, pasta, or even cauliflower mash. Spoon extra sauce over the top and garnish with parsley, if desired.

Tips for Success

• Soften the cream cheese fully: It blends better and gives you a smoother sauce.
• Thin the sauce as needed: Add a little more broth if you prefer a looser consistency.
• Shred leftovers: Makes a great filling for wraps, sliders, or sandwiches.
• Double up: Easily doubled for a bigger crowd—like our Big Family Banana Pudding.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this creamy chicken with:

• Buttered noodles or garlic mashed potatoes
• Roasted green beans or steamed broccoli
• A fresh green salad with vinaigrette
• A side of Crockpot Nacho Dip for appetizer-turned-dinner nights

Storage & Leftovers

• Store: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Freeze: Can be frozen for up to 2 months (sauce may separate slightly, but still tasty).
• Reheat: Microwave or oven—add a splash of broth or milk to bring the sauce back to life.
