Method

How to Make Creamy Jack Cheese Chicken

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step ensures your chicken cooks evenly while developing a perfect golden crust.
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm up for a minute or so.
Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Mix the heavy cream and chicken broth in a bowl until combined smoothly.
Pour the cream mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
Sprinkle jack cheese on top of the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.
