Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the soup mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.
4. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
5. Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, and return to the oven without the foil for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
6. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
