Preparing Chicken Gloria is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to create this incredible dish:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
3. Sear Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
5. Add Cheese: Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in half of the mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.
6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the seared chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat.
7. Transfer to Oven: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the chicken, then cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil.
8. Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
