Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Lightly coat each chicken breast with the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly for about 2 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 3-4 minutes so it can absorb some of the flavors.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm with your choice of side dish.
