→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
03 - 1 cup shredded jack cheese
04 - 1 cup heavy cream
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
