Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium, and in the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes, allowing the cream to heat through and thicken slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce appears too thick, you can thin it by adding 1-2 tablespoons of water or chicken broth.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the Alfredo sauce over the top. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes so the flavors can meld together.
Plate the chicken breasts and pour any remaining Alfredo sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed vegetables, zucchini noodles, or a side salad.
