Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season 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 chicken breasts and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and let it melt. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add grated Parmesan cheese and stir until completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them well in the creamy garlic sauce. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Keto Garlic Chicken with a side of steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
