Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 bunch asparagus trimmed (about 1 lb)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

3 cloves garlic minced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (optional garnish)


Instructions

Preheat Oven – Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Prepare Chicken – Pat chicken dry and rub with olive oil. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Sear Chicken (Optional for Extra Flavor) – Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken 2–3 minutes per side until golden (not fully cooked). Transfer to the baking dish.

Arrange Asparagus – Place trimmed asparagus around the chicken in the baking dish.

Make the Cream Sauce – In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until melted and smooth.

Bake – Pour the creamy sauce over chicken and asparagus. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internal temperature.

Serve – Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm
