Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
Add grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it is melted and the sauce is smooth. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the cream sauce over them. Let everything cook together for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your keto chicken in cream sauce.
