Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
- Red pepper flakes for a touch of heat (optional)
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and coat them in the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. Simmer for a few minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Serve hot with your favorite sides.
