Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once done, transfer them to a plate and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the butter and the minced garlic cloves. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well to combine with the garlic and butter. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Add the parmesan cheese and continue to stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 7
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the cream sauce over them, and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors combine.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve the chicken hot, with the cream sauce drizzled over. Enjoy with a side of sautéed greens or a fresh salad for a low carb meal.
