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
- Prepare the chicken by slicing it in half horizontally or pounding it to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear them until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Lower the heat and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream while stirring to deglaze the skillet. Add grated Parmesan cheese and let simmer until thickened.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes until heated through and well coated with sauce.
