Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, 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)

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally or pound them to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the seasoned chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 4–5 minutes per side). Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add butter along with minced garlic; sauté until fragrant.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and stir to deglaze the pan. Add grated Parmesan cheese and simmer until thickened.
  5. Return the seared chicken to the skillet, simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to heat through and coat with sauce.
