Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Add minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Whisk together and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to soak up the flavors.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, ensure your chicken broth is gluten-free. For dairy-free, use coconut milk instead of heavy cream and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
