A simple yet indulgent dish featuring tender chicken breasts coated in a rich garlic Parmesan sauce, perfect for weeknights or entertaining.

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

  1. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally or pound them to an even thickness. Season generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Lower the heat, add butter to the skillet, and allow it to melt. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, deglaze the pan, and add grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce thickens.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer in the creamy sauce for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring it’s heated through and well coated.

Notes

For a lighter sauce, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half. For a dairy-free version, use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
