Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken breasts. Pat them dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with salt, black pepper, and onion powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes until they're browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, allowing the cheese to melt into the sauce while stirring continuously.
Let the sauce simmer gently for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the chicken to soak up the flavors of the sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
