Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

3 Chicken breast
1 cup Mushrooms
2 Zucchini
1 cup Heavy cream
3 cloves Garlic
½ cup Parmesan cheese
to taste Salt
to taste Black pepper
1 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp Parsley

Method

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Arrange the zucchini slices and mushrooms in the baking dish.
Add the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Spoon some sauce over the top and garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

Season the chicken well before baking for better flavor throughout the dish.
Slice the zucchini evenly so it cooks at the same rate.
Avoid overbaking the zucchini so it stays tender, not mushy.
If there is extra liquid from the vegetables, stir gently before serving rather than baking too long.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a small splash of milk before serving.
Let the bake rest for a few minutes before serving so the sauce settles.
