Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Minced garlic
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts evenly to about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Lightly dredge the chicken in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 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 and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the sauce. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes to soak up the flavor.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken for a fresh garnish.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides such as pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.
