Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter to the same skillet, and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.
Step 4
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the broth to reduce slightly.
Step 5
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Stir in the freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, then add salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, and let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 8
Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove from heat. Serve the chicken with cream sauce immediately, garnished with additional parsley or Parmesan, if desired.
