Step 1

Preheat + prep dish: - Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, add: - chicken broth - butter - minced garlic cloves - 1 tsp lemon juice Do NOT add the milk or thickener yet — it would curdle if cooked too long.

Step 2

Add the frozen chicken breasts. Place them in the baking dish. Sprinkle all the seasoning evenly over the top.

Step 3

Cover with foil + bake 45 minutes. This gets the chicken cooked through gently.

Step 4

Make the creamy milk mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together: - 1 cup milk - 1 tbsp flour (or 2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in a bit of cold milk). This will ensure the sauce thickens smoothly.

Step 5

Add milk mixture. After the first 45 minutes: - Uncover the dish - Pour the milk mixture into the sauce around the chicken ** (Try not to pour directly on top of the chicken so your spices don’t wash off.) ** Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.

Step 6

Bake 10–15 more minutes, uncovered. This thickens the sauce and lets the chicken finish cooking. If the sauce is too thin at the end, just remove the chicken and simmer the sauce in a small pot for a few minutes until thickened.

Step 7

Cover again, and cook for another 20-30 mins depending on how cooked the chicken is.
