Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 4 slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Remove the skillet from the oven and place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Return the skillet to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
