Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear them for 5-6 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter.
Once the butter has melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer while scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the heavy cream, continuing to cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
Add the lemon juice and grated parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them in the creamy sauce.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, basting the chicken with the sauce to ensure it's well-coated.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken warm with the creamy sauce draped over it. Enjoy!
