Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 large 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
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally or pound to even thickness. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side.
  2. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
  3. Lower heat, add butter and garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
  4. Pour in cream and stir to deglaze the pan. Add Parmesan and simmer until thickened.
  5. Return chicken to skillet. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to heat through and coat with sauce.

Notes

Serve over mashed potatoes or pasta. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
