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 an even thickness. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Sear the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and stir well to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any brown bits. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and let simmer until thickened.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet and let it simmer for another 2–3 minutes to soak up the sauce.
