Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken
Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise for thinner pieces)
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
3–4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp Italian seasoning
Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the chicken for about 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir, scraping the flavorful bits from the pan.
Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thick.
Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 2–3 minutes so the chicken absorbs the sauce.
Garnish with parsley and serve.
