Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant (do not burn).
- Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over it, and simmer for another 2 minutes to let the flavors combine.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine to the sauce before adding cream.
- Use half-and-half or light cream for a lighter version.
- The sauce thickens as it cools — add a bit of broth if reheating leftovers.
- Pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, steamed broccoli, or garlic bread.
