Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each piece in flour, coating evenly, and shake off the excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and mix in any browned bits for added flavor.
Add the heavy whipping cream to the skillet, stirring constantly to combine.
Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
