Sear four evenly thick chicken breast portions, then finish them in a garlic-Dijon cream cheese sauce made in the same skillet. The pale sauce coats each piece and pools around it, with a light parsley finish.
Whole chicken breasts are filled through a side pocket with spinach, cream cheese, and Parmesan, then baked until lightly golden. Squeeze the spinach dry to keep the filling thick, and check doneness in the meat.
Chicken breasts are halved into even cutlets, coated with a creamy mayonnaise-Parmesan mixture, and baked until golden in uneven patches. A thermometer confirms doneness, while fresh basil adds a bright finish.
Cooked chicken, white rice, and broccoli bake in a creamy sauce with cheddar mixed in and melted on top. Add coarse buttered cracker pieces for the final uncovered bake, then serve the casserole in generous spoonfuls.
Golden Parmesan-panko chicken pieces sit over marinara-coated penne in a shallow baking dish. A brief oven finish melts the mozzarella while leaving some coarse breading exposed; check the thickest chicken piece for doneness.
These oven-baked ranch chicken cutlets get their coarse golden crust from toasted panko, Parmesan, and dry ranch seasoning. A thin layer of mayonnaise holds the crumbs in place; serve with fresh thyme and any ranch dressing on the side.
Spoon this chicken burrito casserole straight from the skillet: four seared chicken breasts rest over tender tomato-tinted rice with kidney beans, corn, and red pepper. Cilantro finishes the dish without a cheese or tortilla layer.
Individual chicken breasts are seared, then baked under honey mustard, browned mushrooms, bacon, and Colby Jack. Reserve some sauce for serving, and check the chicken with a thermometer beneath the melted cheese.
These whole, unbreaded chicken breasts bake on a sheet pan with a thin olive-oil and spice coating. Start checking early, remove each breast when its thickest part reaches 165°F, then rest and finish with parsley.
