Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Continue to cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
7. Place the browned chicken breasts into the greased casserole dish. Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken.
8. In a small bowl, mix together the shredded Swiss cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the chicken and sauce in the casserole dish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
