Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for added flavor.
Lower the heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream, mixing well. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and fully combine with the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to warm through.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of rice, pasta, or bread.
