Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir well until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with your choice of sides such as rice, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
