🛒 Ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 5 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup chicken broth
• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Season the Chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.

2️⃣ Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

3️⃣ Cook the Garlic

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir constantly so it does not burn.

4️⃣ Make the Cream Sauce

Pour the chicken broth into the pan and scrape the bottom to release all the delicious browned bits. Add the heavy cream and stir well.

5️⃣ Add Parmesan

Mix in the grated parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.

6️⃣ Simmer the Chicken

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Let them simmer in the sauce for 5–7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce thickens.

7️⃣ Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken and serve warm.
