Description
A velvety, rich creamy garlic parmesan chicken recipe that’s quick to make and utterly satisfying. Tender chicken breasts are bathed in a luscious garlic-parmesan sauce.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook it until golden and cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes to warm through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
