Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Toss cubed chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Optional: Sear quickly in a skillet for 2 mins to lock in juices.

  4. Place chicken in the baking dish and pour the cream sauce over it, tossing to coat evenly.
  5. Top with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165°F) and cheese is bubbly.
  7. Garnish with crispy bacon crumbles and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the sauce.
