Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth and creamy.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens (2-3 minutes).
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let them simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm over rice, pasta, or with a side of vegetables.
