Description
A comforting copycat recipe inspired by Texas Roadhouse that features seared chicken breasts topped with a creamy garlic sauce and melted Jack cheese.
Ingredients
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup shredded Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions and paprika for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub olive oil over chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes per side).
- Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and let simmer while scraping the pan.
- Stir in sour cream until well combined, allowing the mixture to bubble for about 5 minutes.
- Top each chicken breast with shredded Jack cheese and transfer to the oven. Bake for around 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and paprika before serving.
Notes
For perfect results, keep the sauce warm but avoid boiling after adding the sour cream. Let the chicken rest a few minutes after baking to keep it moist.
