Description
A delightful dish featuring tender chicken breasts enveloped in a rich, creamy garlic sauce topped with Parmesan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Seasoning the chicken: Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
- Searing the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Sautéing the garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Creating the creamy sauce: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Simmering with seasoning: Add the Italian seasoning to the sauce, then reintroduce the chicken, allowing it to simmer for another 5-10 minutes until cooked through.
- Garnishing and serving: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
