A creamy and flavorful dish that combines chicken with a rich garlic parmesan sauce, perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  3. Add garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Make the sauce: Reduce the heat to medium, then pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine with the garlic.
  5. Incorporate cheese: Add the grated parmesan and Italian seasoning, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Finish chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or a cream alternative. You can also add vegetables for extra nutrition.
