Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season 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. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 5
Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 6
Add the dried Italian seasoning and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let the chicken warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve the chicken with the cream sauce over rice, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
