Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the chicken breasts. Pat them dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with salt, black pepper, and onion powder.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes until they're browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, allowing the cheese to melt into the sauce while stirring continuously.
Step 6
Let the sauce simmer gently for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Step 8
Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the chicken to soak up the flavors of the sauce.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
