Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts on both sides 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 about 6-7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice, allowing the mixture to come to a simmer.
Step 7
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme leaves, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken cook in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 9
Remove from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken for garnish.
Step 10
Serve the Petti di Pollo hot, with extra sauce if desired.
