Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Allow it to melt, then add the minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan.
Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spoon the creamy sauce over the top, and let it simmer for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
