Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the mixture come to a simmer.

Step 5

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, whisking constantly until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Lower the heat and return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and simmer for 5-7 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken and sauce. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the mozzarella has melted.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes like pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
