Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the olive oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and melt the butter.
Add the heavy cream and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well and let the sauce come to a gentle simmer.
Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat and merge the flavors.
If serving with noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with a little butter. Serve the chicken and sauce over the noodles.
If serving with wild rice: Rinse the rice under cold water. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the wild rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until tender. Serve alongside the chicken and sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
