How to Make Baked Chicken In Parmesan And Roasted Garlic Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Roast a head of garlic until soft (about 40 mins at 400F). Squeeze roasted garlic from the papery peels and mash well.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken thighs thoroughly, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove each batch to a 13x9 inch baking pan as it finishes browning.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Deglaze the pan with sherry, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  5. Add chicken stock, thyme, and the mashed roasted garlic. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in milk.
  7. Add cream cheese in small pieces, whisking until smooth and melted.
  8. Stir in salt, pepper, and parsley.
  9. Whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
  10. Pour sauce evenly over the chicken pieces in the baking pan.
  11. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  12. Cook your choice of pasta according to package directions.
  13. Remove chicken to a serving platter. Toss the cooked pasta with the remaining sauce.
  14. Serve the chicken over the pasta, alongside your favorite green vegetable or salad.
