Description
A delightful dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a rich, creamy garlic sauce with parmesan cheese, perfect for cozy family dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally or pound to even thickness. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side.
- Remove chicken from the skillet. Lower heat, add butter and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in heavy cream and stir to deglaze the pan. Add Parmesan cheese and simmer until the sauce thickens, around 3–5 minutes.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to heat through and coat with the sauce.
Notes
Use fresh garlic for an enhanced flavor, ensure even chicken thickness for proper cooking, and consider adding more vegetables for added texture and nutrients.
