Description
A creamy and indulgent chicken dish that’s quick to prepare, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
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 the chicken breasts in half horizontally or pound them to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Lower the heat, add the butter and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream while stirring to deglaze the skillet. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3–5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to heat through and coat with the creamy sauce.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
