Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest. Once cooled slightly, slice the chicken into thin strips.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and sauté them in the skillet until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and stir well, cooking the mixture for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet, coating it well with the sauce.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the sauce over your favorite cooked pasta. Enjoy!
