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
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for added flavor.

Step 5

Lower the heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream, mixing well. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and fully combine with the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to warm through.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of rice, pasta, or bread.
