Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness of about 1 inch.
Step 2
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it, loosening any browned bits from the chicken.
Step 6
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy Jackie S Chicken with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
